Several dozen protesters were detained in eastern Russia in the first crackdown since rallies against Khabarovsk Gov. Sergei Furgal’s arrest began 3 months ago. Furgal was arrested on July 9 and taken to a Moscow jail on suspicion of involvement in murders. Since then, thousands of demonstrators have rallied in Khabarovsk, protesting his jailing and demanding that his trial is held in the city.
