Thousands March in Russia to Protest American Adoptions

Posted: Updated:

(KCEN) -- Thousands of people marched through Moscow to protest a new law banning Americans from adopting Russian children.

Protesters carried posters of Russian President Vladimir Putin and members of Russia's Parliament, which voted for the new law last month.  

Russia's ban is seen as retaliation for a new U.S. law targeting Russians accused of human rights abuses.  

People opposed to it say it's main victims are Russian orphans, not Americans.
