<p><strong>Read: <a href="http://londonglossy.com/demonstrators-arrested-ahead-of-moscow-election-protest/">Demonstrators arrested ahead of Moscow election protest</a></strong></p>
<p>The unauthorised demonstration planned for later today aims to protest authorities’ refusal to put several opposition members on the ballot for September’s city council election.</p>
<p>The decision to bar the candidates for allegedly insufficient signatures on nominating petitions sparked several days of demonstrations this month.</p>
<p>Alexei Navalny, Russia’s most prominent opposition activist, had called today’s protest, saying it would continue until the rejected candidates are allowed to run.</p>
<p>Mr Navalny was jailed for 30 days on Wednesday for calling an unauthorised protest.</p>
<p>A top Navalny associate, Ivan Zhdanov, said today on Twitter that he had been detained. Ilya Yashin, another leading opposition member, also has been detained.</p>
