Among those detained at the building of the Russia's Supreme Court (SC), which has ruled to liquidate the "International Memorial"*, were both supporters and opponents of the organization.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on December 28, the SC's decision to liquidate the "International Memorial" was met with shouts of "Shame!"
