Opposition activists vowed on Wednesday to continue their round-the-clock street protests after police broke up a Moscow Occupy-type camp in a dawn raid, RIA Novosti reports.
“I’m expecting more people to join us later today,” opposition leader Ilya Yashin said, as some several dozen activists gathered in a square in a short walk from the U.S. embassy. “People will spend the night here.”
Yashin later proposed in a Twitter post that activists hold a meeting at the square later on Wednesday to decide "what to do next."
Riot police dismantled a previous camp in the Russian capital on Wednesday, briefly detaining over 20 people. Police had earlier pledged to give activists until midday to leave voluntarily.
