Over 300 residents of Dagestan gathered there. Later, eyewitnesses claimed the detention of two participants of the rally – Abdullah Gabibulaev and Zagalav Somoev.

"The detainee Zagalav Somoev was brought to the Sovietsky ROVD; later, Patimat Gadjieva, who spoke at the rally and criticized Vladimir Putin, was also brought there. After her speech, she, together with the public figure Louiza Suleimanova, was forced by policemen into a car and taken to the above ROVD. Suleimanova was soon released, but Gadjieva is still kept therein, "Larissa Bachieva told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent at 8:30 p.m. Moscow time.
