MOSCOW, February 11. /TASS/. The Russian police have opened 90 criminal cases in the wake of unsanctioned rallies in January and February of this year, the press center of the Russian Interior Ministry informed TASS.

"The ministry informs that 90 criminal cases were launched on the outcomes of crimes committed during the unsanctioned actions held in January and February of this year," the press center stated.

Unsanctioned rallies in support of Alexey Navalny were held in Moscow and other major cities on January 23 and 31. On February 2, people took to the streets in Moscow after Navalny’s suspended sentence was replaced with a real one. Law enforcement bodies repeatedly warned their participants of liability for taking part in unsanctioned events. Only during the January 23 rally in Moscow, nearly 2,000 people were detained.
