Mass arrests in Russia over ethnic riots

  • 12 years ago
Russian riot police have arrested at least 1,000 people in Moscow to prevent ethnic clashes.

Rumours that a fight was being scheduled between ultra nationalists and ethnic minorities were spread through the internet.

It comes after riots broke out following the deadly shooting of a football fan last week.
