MOSCOW, June 12 (Reuters) - Police detained small numbers of protesters on Monday as they were exiting a metro station ahead of an unsanctioned rally called by opposition leader Alexei Navalny in central Moscow, a Reuters witness reported.

The detentions took place almost simultaneously with Navalny's detention by police at the entrance to his home.
