Putin critic Navalny arrested at Moscow protest
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been arrested at a protest in Moscow, hours after being given a suspended sentence for fraud.
His brother Oleg had been given a three-and-a-half-year prison term for the same offence.
Navalny had tweeted a picture of himself on the way to the Manezh Square rally and was later pictured there.
He says the charges were politically motivated and linked to his opposition to President Vladimir Putin.
