This summer, Moscow was swept by a wave of street protests after opposition politicians were barred from running in local elections. The protests have subsided, but for dozens of Russians the events have been life-changing with many convicted and others facing criminal charges for their role in the rallies. Their supporters call them political prisoners, arrested to scare others off the streets. It's a claim the Kremlin rejects. But the Moscow Case, as it's known, goes on.
