Rioting erupts in Moscow after killing blamed on migrant
None
Demonstrators, some chanting racist slogans, vandalized a shopping center and scuffled with police in a Moscow neighbourhood Sunday after the killing of a young man that residents blamed on a migrant from the Caucasus. Protests over the death in the southern Biryulyovo district began peacefully until a group of young men began smashing windows in the shopping center.
The crowd grew to number several thousand and demonstrators scuffled with police when they tried to make arrests, a Reuters witness said. Pictures showed at least one policeman with minor injuries and footage showed a car and rubbish bins overturned in the streets. (Reuters)
