Russian police raid opposition In brief

Russian law enforcement agents yesterday searched the apartments and offices of several opposition activists who campaigned against constitutional amendments that allowed President Vladimir Putin to extend his rule until 2036. Investigators searched the apartment of municipal lawmaker Yulia Galyamina and also raided offices and homes of several activists who took part in the “No!” campaign over the July 1 constitutional vote, in which nearly 78 per cent of voters approved the changes that allow Putin to seek two more presidential terms.
