Moscow police have detained two freelance correspondents working for RFE/RL's Russian Service on November 13 while they were interviewing people on the streets of the country's capital. Law enforcement officers took Yury Lebedev and Yelizaveta Movchan to a police station for "an identity check." A lawyer is en route to visit Lebedev and Movchan.
