Moscow police have detained Russians suspected of attending the funeral of opposition politician Alexei Navalny after trawling through videos from the day, local media have reported.
Thousands of mourners turned out for the funeral on the outskirts of Moscow last week with many chanting “no to war” and “Putin is a killer”.
One Moscow resident was later arrested after police claimed she could be heard in a video funeral saying “glory to heroes”, OVD-Info, an independent media outlet monitoring Russia, reported.
She was allegedly held overnight on March 4 at a police station and fined 1,500 rubles (£13) for violating regulations against the display of forbidden symbols.
Police issued warnings against “unauthorised gathering” before the funeral in an apparent attempt to discourage supporters of the man who led Russia’s pro-democracy movement for more than a decade.
