Thousands of people gathered on the streets of Moscow, defying a heavy police presence and possible arrest, to pay their last respects to Russia’s main opposition leader, Alexei Navalny.
The crowds chanted his name as his funeral service was held, two weeks after he died in prison. They also chanted anti-government slogans and protests against the war in Ukraine.
Alexei Navalny’s mother was among the mourners allowed into the cemetery to see him buried. His widow decided not to travel to Russia where she could face arrest.
