Ahead of the July 16 summit between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump in Helsinki, mass demonstrations (mostly protests) took place across the city. On July 15, a march in support of human rights attracted roughly 2,500 activists. Projected onto a wall near the presidential palace, a message demanded, “Trump and Putin: stop the crimes against humanity in Chechnya.”
