Судя по всему, Кара-Мурза доставлен в ОВД Хамовники, куда едет адвокат В.Прохоров. Могу предположить, что задержание связано с административным делом (в случае уголовки был бы обыск и допрос в СКР). Скорее всего, речь о каком-то антивоенном высказывании в прессе или в соцсетях. pic.twitter.com/hrEVmG7cyN
