Business FM correspondent Aigul Abdullina told Open Media that she was injured during the cleanup of the streets adjacent to Sennaya Square: «We found ourselves between the riot police and the protesters when the first ran abruptly with their shields. Nobody was going to hit me targeted, I was just hit accidentally in this crush, but I was dismayed by the fact that I was not alone there – five people in vests, but they continued to swing their truncheons».
