Several hundred people demonstrated in solidarity with Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny in Berlin. Activists from "Pussy Riot" also protested in front of the Russian embassy.
According to Russian information, Navalny collapsed in the “Polarwolf” prison last Friday and ultimately died. The Russian opposition newspaper Novaya Gazeta now reports that Navalny's body was taken to the district hospital in the city of Salekhard in northern Siberia. The presidential election is taking place in Russia in mid-March.
