Russian Police Arrest Children as Brutal Crackdown on Antiwar Protests Continues
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Russian police continue to crack down on antiwar protests. More than 350
people were arrested at a rally in St. Petersburg on Wednesday. In
Moscow, at least five children and two mothers were arrested and jailed
Tuesday after they left flowers and signs reading "No to War" outside
Ukraine's Embassy. Human rights groups say some 8,000 people have been
arrested at antiwar protests in Russia since late February.
