Opposition meetings should be held in accordance with law - Medvedev

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Thursday that opposition meetings should be held in accordance with the law, Ekho Moskvy reports.

Such demonstrations are natural for a democratic country, but opposition activists are not allowed to violate the law, the president says.

Earlier today Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin condemned opposition rallies, saying that the protests are inspired by foreign countries.

Opposition rallies are being held in Moscow every day, as all the opposition groups say the Sunday parliamentary elections were unfair. The opposition meeting scheduled for December 10th is going to be attended by 50 thousand people. At least this number of users have announced this intention on Facebook.
