Mourners of late opposition activist Alexei Navalny gathered outside the Russian Orthodox church in Moscow for his memorial service, amidst heavy police presence including metal detectors, security cameras, and fencing. Navalny, Putin\'s critic, died in custody, with authorities claiming natural causes while his allies suspect foul play. There were disruptions to mobile internet service near the church, and delays in transporting Navalny\'s body to the memorial service venue.
