MOSCOW - Police detained over 130 people on Tuesday at a protest in Moscow called by opposition leader Alexei Navalny after a controversial verdict convicted him and his brother of fraud, a rights group said.

At least 132 people were held in police vans and some have already been taken to police stations for processing, said OVD-Info, a group that tracks arrests, publishing list of names of the detained individuals.
