Over 100 people arrested for participating in themazes for Navajo

At least 120 people have been arrested in Russia for attending ceremonies to bid farewell to Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, who was buried on March 1st in Moscow after his suspicious death on February 16th in a Arctic prison.

Navalny is buried in the cemetery near the house where he grew up in Moscow, as tens of thousands of supporters have risked facing authorities and have gone to honor him outside the church where the farewell ceremony was held.

Family members and close helpers are allowed to be inside church before he is buried.

Police forces have been in every corner of Russia's streets, and although there have been no reports of incidents, more than 120 people have been later detained in Moscow, St Petersburg, Novisibirsk, Lifemakerburg and other cities, why they have participated in the organisation to remember the Navajo.

Human rights organisation First Department has reported that in courts in four Russian regions, the Navajo name has been considered “extremist”sopheric”).

Social networking has circulated photographs of the ceremony held in the church, although cameras have been banned there.

The parents of the Navajo near his body, open up to his chest so that the participants can see him for the last time.

A lot of people have put flowers in the car that carried his body, and some have been heard making war, the Poutin is a killer, and we won't forget you.

Many Western diplomats who are engaged in Moscow also attended the church ceremony.

Alexei Navalnyt's “Punja has been spreading a vision of a better future for Russia and all Russians. Eventually, he gave his life for patriotic service. For many Russians, it is a symbol of what it can and must be Russia”, the American Embassy in Moscow said through a post in the telegram.

Navajo widow Yulia, who lives outside Russia for security reasons, has not attended the funeral ceremony.

Later, though, she has published a very exciting video, remembering her best moments with her husband.

I don't know how to live without you, but I will try to do my best to make you happy and proud of me. I don't know if I can, but I'm going to try”, she said, alluding to his vision of democracy and freedom in Russia.

Before the ceremony, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has issued a warning that illegal organisations in support of Navalny are considered violations of the law.

He also said that the Kremlin does not consider Navajo a politician and has nothing to say about his family.

Navajo's wife has blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for staying behind her husband's death.

The same opinion divides some Western leaders, although the Kremlin constantly rejects these attitudes.

Navalny has been serving a 19-year prison sentence on charges he and his supporters have been considered politically motivated. / REL
