Navalny team: Russian authorities are said to have threatened to bury him in a penal colony. Despite the cause of death still being unclear, Alexei Navalny's funeral is now scheduled to take place on Friday (March 1st) at a cemetery in Moscow.

A day earlier, the Kremlin critic's team called for active participation. But coming could be dangerous for the mourners. It is not unlikely that security forces will crack down. The 47-year-old died in the prison camp on Friday last week.
