Oleg Kozlovsky, Arrested Again!

Filed under: Russia

oborona.JPGOn May 18th, Russia's opposition forces are planning to gather and establish a "National Assembly," which will become a shadow parliament following the true practice of democracy. The Assembly is the brainchild of dissident leader Oleg Kozlovsky, among others, and he was scheduled to play a leading role in the proceedings.

So it hardly comes as a surprise that on May 6th he was arrested by plainclothes police, processed by a kangaroo court and sentenced to 13 day in jail -- meaning he'll be released the day after the Assembly proceedings conclude.

Read all about it on Oleg's new English language blog.
