Hundreds of people gather to pay their respects and lay flowers at the grave of opposition leader Alexei Navalny on the final day of a presidential election that is guaranteed to cement Vladimir Putin's hardline rule. Before his death in an Arctic prison last month, Navalny urged Russians to protest on March 17. His widow, Yulia Navalnaya, has reiterated his call and said protesters should show up in large numbers at the same time to overwhelm polling stations. IMAGES

Moscow (Russia), Feb 2 (EFE/EPA) - (Camera: Yury Kochetkov/Maxim Shipenkov).- Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny appeared in court Tuesday for a hearing that could see him jailed for 3.5 years on charges he claims are politically-motivated. Russia’s penitentiary service has now asked a district court in Moscow to order Navalny to serve a suspended prison sentence he was given for fraud charges in 2014, claiming that he violated parole conditions while in Germany. Navalny, 44, arrived at the court with his lawyer, Olga Mikhailova, and wife Yulia. His arrest last month sparked protests in Russia and over 5,600 people were arrested during a demonstration on Sunday, according to local media site OVD-Info.FOOTAGE FROM OUTSIDE THE COURT WHERE NAVALNI'S TRIAL IS TAKING PLACE
