Hundreds chant anti-Putin slogans at Navalny funeral

As crowds gathered to pay their final respects to Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny at his funeral, hundreds of mourners could be heard chanting anti-Putin slogans. The somber mood was punctuated by cries of “Putin is a murderer” and “Justice for Navalny”.

Navalny, a fierce critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was assassinated last week in a brazen attack that shocked the world. His death has sparked widespread protests and calls for Putin’s resignation.

The scene at Navalny’s funeral was tense as police tried to contain the emotional crowds. Many mourners held signs condemning Putin and demanding justice for Navalny’s murder.

As the ceremony came to a close, the crowd erupted in chants of “Navalny lives on” and “Down with Putin”. The funeral served as a powerful reminder of the deep divisions in Russian society and the ongoing struggle for democracy and human rights in the country.
