Two young women, Xenia Kozlova and Anastasia Yuditskii, were arrested outside of the State Duma for participation in single-person picketing. The pickets were held in relation to the recent passage of the electoral law by the lower house of parliament and the reluctance of police officers to present badges and IDs at the citizens' request as required by law. The detainees are currently held in a police van outside of the State Duma.
