Armenian bloggers arrested for 10 days in Moscow for obstructing traffic during video shootings

Two Armenian bloggers David Manukyan and Karina Karina Lazaryants have been arrested for 10 days for obstructing traffic while filming a video in Moscow, Russia.

They decided to shoot the video in downtown Moscow at a rush hour, blocked roads and thus disturbed the traffic, which amounts to a violation of public order, a Moscow court ruled.

A video posted earlier on Instagram show how the bloggers blocked several lanes of the New Arbat (Novy Arbat) Avenue to film the video.
