LONDON (Reuters) - One person approached the Russian protester and shook his hand, thanking him for his courage. Another headed to the shops to buy hygiene products, food and books to bring to him in detention.
Andrei Vyazov was jailed on Feb. 16 in the southern city of Krasnodar, one of more than 400 protesters detained at events across Russia in memory of Alexei Navalny, the Kremlin's fiercest critic who died this month in an Arctic penal colony.
