Thousands of people attend the funeral of Russian opponent Alexei Navalni, watched by a large police deployment. Security forces have placed metal fences and checkpoints around the Moscow church where the ceremony is taking place.

The authorities wanted a secret funeral and threatened the dissident's mother, Liudmila Navalnaya, with burying him in the prison yard if she did not accept. She was not given her body until eight days after a still unclarified death - the official certificate refers to a "natural death"
