February 27,2017 11:30

Thousands of protesters have marched in Moscow and other Russian cities to mark two years since the opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was gunned down near the Kremlin. The Guardian reports.

Five men including a security services officer who reported to the leader of the Russian republic of Chechnya are on trial for murdering the outspoken Putin critic but many fear whoever ordered the killing will not be brought to justice.
Police said 5,000 people had participated in the demonstration in the capital, but a group counting each person who passed the metal detectors at the beginning of the column said 15,200 had marched. Among them were prominent opposition leaders such as former prime minister Mikhail Kasyanov, who was assaulted before the march began.
