At least 120 people were arrested in Russia for participating in rallies in honor of the memory of Alexei Navalny, who was buried in Moscow yesterday, following his suspicious death in an Arctic prison last month, after some Russian regions declared the late opposition politician a "symbol of extremism", reports the Russian service Rgoodbye Radio Free Europe (RFE) and "Current Time".
Onslaught was buried in a cemetery near the home where he lived as a child in Moscow, as tens of thousands of supporters defied the authorities by gathering to pay their respects to Navalny, despite a heavy police presence.
Relatives and close associates were allowed into the church where a short memorial service was held for Russian President Vladimir Putin's most prominent foe before he was buried at the nearby Borisovsko Cemetery.
