A total of a hundred people were arrested during several rallies in Russia in memory of opponent Alexeï Navalny, who died in prison on Friday. According to the count published on its site and updated Saturday morning, "more than 101 people were arrest in ten cities", including a majority in Saint Petersburg.
A figure of opposition to Vladimir Putin's control over Russia, Alexe Navalny died Friday in his Siberian prison at the age of 47. In just over 10 years, this trained lawyer has become the bête noire of a Kremlin which has never stopped trying to silence him.
