Navajo was arrested yesterday in Moscow's Pushkin Square during protests accompanying Vladimir Putin's inauguration ceremonies for a fourth presidential term.
Over 1,300 protesters were arrested throughout Russia.
Police also detained journalist Alexei Alexandrov, who works for a news show that is conducted in collaboration between the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/ Radio Freedom. He announced that police were kicking and pushing journalists. He says he has not seen a similar aggressive reaction from police at previous protests led by Navajo.
