Moscow, Russia - Russian police have detained more than 2,000 people during nationwide protests in support of jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny, monitors say.

About this video

Tens of thousands of people defied a heavy police presence to join the rallies, a huge show of defiance against President Vladimir Putin.

In Moscow, riot police were seen beating and dragging away protesters.

Mr Navalny, President Putin's most high-profile critic, called for protests after his arrest last weekend.

He was detained on 17 January after he flew back to Moscow from Berlin, where he had been recovering from a near-fatal nerve agent attack in Russia last August.
