VOICED : Opositores protestan en Rusia el dia del 65 cumpleanos de Putin

Supporters of Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny protested across Russia against President Vladimir Putin on his 65th birthday. Protests occurred in 80 cities, resulting in over 200 arrests. Navalny, currently detained, urged followers to protest after being sentenced to 20 days for unauthorized demonstrations. With five months until the presidential election, Navalny faces challenges due to a conviction. Putin, in power since 1999, has not officially declared his candidacy, though it's expected. Public sentiment against Putin was evident, though the police response was less intense than previous protests.
