This time the demonstration was purposly obstructed by a chain provocations organized as many think by the authorities. Look on the picture Ramil posted eralier. You can see a row of policemen in helmets perfectly equipped. When I went to the December meeting which included much more people than in this time. And in December there were only ordinary dressed city policemen and we could leave the meeting whenever we wanted. So how come a lot of soldiers appeared this time? Why?
Now you can see the row of soldiers is locking the crowd and people cannot advance to the square where speakers were going to declare. Why? Well, while on the square speakers didn't have any time to say anything because they were captured and put in prison for resistance to authority, which actually never took place.

Now in other squares as I myself could see ( as I went there for a coulpe of hours), as soon as a single word of agenda was ever uttered policemen at once captured the speakers under different farfetched reasons: no right to share with your food and water for example.

And finally, when people just kept silence policemen all the same captured them for the reason that you are not allowed to sleep on streets.

I find it a bit hard today to express any demands.
