Russian Police Raid Homes of Opposition Candidates in Moscow
------------------------------------------------------------

In Russia, Moscow police have raided the homes of several opposition
politicians, including longtime Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, ahead of
a planned protest tomorrow calling for free and fair elections. The
raids came just weeks after election officials in Moscow rejected the
applications of dozens of opposition candidates to be on the ballot
during upcoming city council elections.
