CNN: Russian riot police tell protesters to disperse in Moscow [View all]

From CNN's Anna Chernova and Nic Robertson

Russian riot police are urging protesters to leave Pushkinskaya Square in Moscow, saying over loudspeakers that the “[protest] action is unauthorized.”

CNN’s Nic Robertson and team on the ground have witnessed people being detained by police. Some are carrying signs with messages, including multiple signs saying “no to war.”

Russian authorities on Thursday warned citizens that participating in anti-war protests could lead to prosecution and criminal charges.
