This morning in Moscow, Alexei Navalny rallies the Russian people even in death. Thousands of mourners defied the risk of arrest to gather outside the funeral of Vladimir Putin's most vocal and daring critic. A poignant image of Navalny in his casket covered in flowers was shared by his team on social media earlier today. Navalny's death in a Russian prison camp two weeks ago continues to spark outrage globally.
The crowd leaving his funeral marched one and a half miles to his burial site, chanting 'Russia without Putin.' Navalny's widow expressed gratitude for the 26 years of happiness she shared with him. Despite the dodgy signal due to security measures, the procession of mourners stretched into the distance, with Russians paying their last respects by laying flowers and messages.
