Yekaterina Duntsova, who has filed documents to stand in the March presidential race in Russia, attends a meeting at the Central Election Commission in Moscow, where her application is rejected. The Commission cited "mistakes in documents". The former journalist and city councillor is campaigning "for peace and democratic processes", according to Russian television. Speaking to her supporters outside the building of the Commission, Duntsova says that while she is "sad" about the decision, "it is clear that the people's initiative is not needed and not welcomed (by Russian authorities)."
