Two Armenian bloggers David Manukyan and Karina Karina Lazaryants have been arrested for 10 days for obstructing traffic while filming a video in Moscow, Russia.

They decided to shoot the video in downtown Moscow at a rush hour, blocked roads and thus disturbed the traffic, which amounts to a violation of public order, a Moscow court ruled.

A video posted earlier on Instagram show how the bloggers blocked several lanes of the New Arbat (Novy Arbat) Avenue to film the video.
