Le politologue independant russe Alexandre Kynev a ete arrete et place en detention, moins d'une semaine apres les elections legislatives organisees par les autorites russes, selon Le Monde.
Kynev, connu pour ses analyses sur sa chaine Telegram, avait critique et denonce des fraudes et des pressions exercees lors du scrutin, qui visait selon plusieurs observateurs a doper la participation et le score du parti presidentiel.
Les autorites russes ont annonce son arrestation dans le cadre d'une affaire de trafic de drogue, sans qu'un lien officiel n'ait ete etabli entre cette accusation et ses prises de position publiques sur les elections.
Des soutiens et des observateurs independants ont exprime des inquietudes quant au moment de cette arrestation, intervenue peu apres la publication de ses critiques sur le scrutin.
L'affaire s'inscrit dans un contexte plus large de restrictions visant les voix critiques et les analystes independants en Russie, un phenomene regulierement documente par des organisations de defense des droits humains.
