Kremlin: any unsanctioned gathering for Navalny's funeral will violate the law

The Kremlin said that any unsanctioned gatherings in support of the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who is to be buried on Friday in Moscow, will violate the law.

In a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to give any assessment of Navalny as a political figure and said he had nothing to say to Navalny's family. (Writing by Felix Light; Editing by Mark Trevelyan)
