A court in Moscow has ordered police to "liquidate" the anti-Putin demonstration, known as 'Occupy Abai', at the central Chistiye Prudy park.
Currently in its second week following the re-election of Vladamir Putin as the Russian president, Occupy Abai has seen widespread support with thousands of protesters gathering in the evening after work.
Having set up camp, the protest movement has set up a makeshift kitchen, wifi for incessant social networking, and even itsvery own Occupy Abai library, which issues books and an Abai newsletter.
Condemning Occupy Abai as "illegal", President Putin's spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, called for the camp to be broken up.
However, opposition parties have countered the government's threats, stating that the camp was no in breach of Russia's laws on protest, as it was merely a "stroll" in the park.
