The brother and aides of jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny were placed under house arrest on Friday ahead of new rallies, as Russian authorities warned that protesters could face charges of taking part in "mass unrest." Moscow police also announced that on Sunday, when the fresh protests are planned, movement in the center of the Russian capital would be limited and seven central metro stations closed.
Kremlin critics say authorities are dramatically ramping up pressure on the opposition in an effort to intimidate protesters and smother dissent. Navalny's team has urged new protests, suggesting residents of Moscow gather on Sunday in Lubyanka Square outside the headquarters of the FSB security agency and Staraya Square, where the presidential administration has its offices. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2021/01/29/navalny-allies-under-house-arrest-ahead-of-new-russia-protests-a72779
