Alexeï Navalny must be buried this Friday in Moscow, his supporters called to gather. His team called for participation in the ceremony despite the risk of arrests.
The Russian opponent died on February 16 at the age of 47 in a Russian penal colony in the Arctic in circumstances which remain obscure. His collaborators, his widow Yulia Navalnaïa and the West have accused Vladimir Putin of being responsible for his death, which the Kremlin rejects. Nearly 400 people were arrested by the police in the days following the death of the opponent.
