A floral tribute to opposition leader Alexey Navalny has been destroyed in Russia.
Flowers laid in Saint Petersburg at the monument to victims of political repression were removed by unidentified people overnight.
Other tributes are also reported to have been destroyed.
Police arrested Russians trying to mourn in cities nationwide.
Prison officials say Navalny died from what they call ‘sudden death syndrome’ in an Arctic penal colony on Friday.
