Support for Pavel Durov: protests at the French Embassy

Cities in Russia and around the world are hosting protests in support detained in France Paul Durova. As for the St. Petersburg и Moscow Russians at the French embassy leave white airplanes. Protesters say the prosecution of the Telegram founder violates citizens' rights to freedom of speech. Protests are also taking place outside the embassy in Yerevan, writes SOTAvision.
