STORYLINE:
Russian opposition leaders were detained in Moscow on Saturday while protesting what they say is the torture of a fellow activist.
Investigators earlier this week said that Leonid Razvozzhayev had turned himself in and confessed to plotting riots.
But on Thursday Razvozzhayev retracted the confession, saying he had written it under duress after being kidnapped in Ukraine and tortured for two days.
Police detained Alexei Navalny, Sergei Udaltsov and Ilya Yashin as they were standing outside the Russian former intelligence and former KGB headquarters, protesting "torture and repression."
The three men were among hundreds of people gathered in central Moscow to protest an increasingly relentless crackdown on the opposition in Russia.
During the protest, Udaltsov told the media: "It's a shame for Russia when people who have their own views are being transformed into criminals. The state is setting up criminal cases and now they could get big terms."
Earlier on Saturday, Navalny and other opposition figures held the first session of a council to organise resistance to President Vladimir Putin, calling it the first democratically elected body in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Over 80,000 people voted for the council last weekend, mostly online.
Navalny, a charismatic anti-corruption activist who chaired the meeting, said the council had a "huge mandate of trust" allowing leaders to speak for the tens of thousands who participated in street protests last winter.
Navalny won nearly 44,000 votes in the election, while a sharp-tongued, larger-than-life poet, novelist and columnist Dmitry Bykov came second followed by Garry Kasparov, a former world chess champion turned opposition leader, who addressed the council session.
