Moscow police have detained hundreds of people, mainly migrant workers, in sweeping raids on marketplaces over the past three days. The crackdown followed an incident on July 27 in which a crowd attacked police who were trying to detain a suspect at Moscow's Matveyevsky Market. One of the officers sustained a severe head injury. The clash prompted the large-scale search for suspects among the workers at several markets, most of whom are migrants or ethnic minorities. (Reuters)
