Russian media say authorities arrested former US Embassy official — FILE - In this Monday, March 11, 2013 file photo, police officers stand near a cage in a courtroom in Moscow, Russia. The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that Russian courts violate the rights of suspects by putting them in metal cages during trial. The court, in a ruling Thursday, July 17, 2014, found that confinement in a metal cage "amounted to degrading treatment" and is "incompatible with the standards of civilized behavior that were the hallmark of a democratic society."
