http://www.euronews.net/ President Vladimir Putin may have called for anti-government protesters to be treated with respect but it is unclear whether police in Moscow received the message.

They were out in force to prevent what they described as an illegal gathering in the centre of the capital.

But the participants were prevented from leaving the metro station by a large number of riot police who made several arrests. The demonstration was organised by the controversial opposition writer Eduard Limonov.
