From the article:
Kasparov was forced to the ground and beaten, his assistant Marina Litvinovich said in a telephone interview from outside the police station where he was held.Two riot police testified in court that they had been given direct orders before the rally to arrest Kasparov, one of Putin's harshest critics. One of the policemen acknowledged the two reports he filed were contradictory.Protesters were stopped and several were pushed into three police buses after they tried to walk to the Central Election Commission building to deliver a petition.Kasparov has stated his intentions to run for the presidency next March, but a number of opposition parties in his coalition, including his own United Civic Front, have been denied registration for the upcoming parliamentary vote.
