Navalny: funeral services refuse to take body to funeral, according to his team. "It's a real shame.

The hearse drivers are now refusing to take Alexei from the morgue," lamented Ivan Zhdanov, one of the deceased opponent's close collaborators, on Telegram. The funeral of the opponent and anti-corruption activist is due to take place on Friday at 2:00 p.m. (11:00 GMT) in a church in the southeast of Moscow, the Russian capital.
