Russian police officers detain demonstrators Wednesday protesting against a bill banning US adoptions of Russian children outside the Russian parliament’s upper chamber in Moscow. The upper chamber of Russia’s parliament unanimously voted in favor of a measure banning Americans from adopting Russian children. It now goes to President Vladimir Putin to sign or turn down. A poster reads “Destroy Putin’s authoritarianism. Don’t pass the bill written by scoundrels.”
