Hundreds detained as Russia mourns Alexei Navalny

Hundreds of people have been detained in Russia while paying tribute to former opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Flowers laid to honour Navalny have been removed by authorities in Moscow. More than 400 people have reportedly been detained while honouring the fierce Putin critic who recently died in a Russian prison. Most detentions were released with a warning while some were held overnight. Russian television has remained largely quiet on Navalny’s death.
