Kasparov no xadrez
Publicado por Rui Passos Rocha em Novembro 24, 2007
«The Russian authorities have charged opposition leader and former chess champion Garry Kasparov following clashes with police in Moscow. He and other opposition figures were detained during a rally organised by Mr Kasparov’s Other Russia coalition. Mr Kasparov was charged with resisting arrest and organising an unauthorised protest. The incident came a week before polls which supporters of President Vladimir Putin are widely expected to win. Other Russia brings together a broad coalition of mainstream politicians, leftists and nationalists, all of whom are opposed to the Kremlin.

About 3,000 protesters attended Saturday’s rally, carrying banners and calling for the country to be rid of President Putin. In speeches, leaders of the movement bitterly criticised the upcoming parliamentary election, saying there was no choice for voters. The trouble broke out at the end of the rally when about 100 protesters tried to break through police lines. They began to march to the election commission and were stopped by riot police. [...] Mr Kasparov was forced to the ground and beaten before being detained, his assistant told AP news agency. He was later charged with organising an illegal protest and resisting arrest.»

Fala-se muito pouco de Kasparov na imprensa nacional. Quer parecer-me. E não sei bem porquê.
