Is he being arrested for being there or some other reason?
- AhtiK 14y agoNo reason given.
- greenyoda 14y agoHe's a pro-democracy activist, and democracy doesn't seem to be very popular with the Putin regime. Wikipedia says: "After his retirement from chess in 2005, Kasparov turned to politics and created the United Civil Front, a social movement whose main goal is to 'work to preserve electoral democracy in Russia.' He has vowed to 'restore democracy' to Russia by toppling the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, of whom he is an outspoken critic." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Kasparov#Politics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Kasparov#Politics
