Navalny spokesman, Kira Yarmysh, said that his client was convicted on charges of co-ordinating an illegal protest act.

Not only Navalny, authorities also arrested 1,500 other protesters from all over Russia, including 823 people in Moscow, where police tried to disperse the mass by force.

Eventhough many of the demonstrators were seized, the witnessed kept shouting, "Russia without Putin!"

One of the protesters, Alexander Tyurin, even proclaimed, "Putin has already ruled for 17 years and had no plans to resign. He seized all power! "

Similar with the European Union, Amnesty International denounced the detention and any violence; calling Russia in "precarious."
