CNN —Hundreds of people have been flocking to the grave of late Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny.
Images from OVD-Info, an independent Russian human rights group that monitors Russian repression, show a long line of people queuing at Navalny’s grave and laying flowers at the Borisovsky Cemetery in Moscow.

There was heavy security in place and some in the crowd chanted his name or anti-Putin slogans.
At least 103 people were detained across 20 Russian cities on the day of Navalny’s funeral, OVD-Info reported on Sunday.
