TENS of thousands of people are marching through central Moscow to mourn opposition leader Boris Nemtsov, who was killed in a drive-by shooting days earlier.
THE crowd lined the Bolshoi Moskvoretsky bridge near the Kremlin, where the veteran politician was hit by four bullets fired by an unknown gunman on Friday.
Organisers, among them Nemtsov, had originally planned to protest the policies of President Vladimir Putin on Sunday. They had agreed to move the event to a Moscow suburb after the city government did not allow it to be held in the centre.After Nemtsov's killing, however, authorities granted permission for the march to be relocated to the centre.Fellow opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who was the first to call for the march, missed the event. He is serving 15 days in detention for allegedly illegally handing out flyers.Nemtsov, who served as Russian deputy prime minister in the late 1990s and was a sharp critic of Putin since 2000, is the most prominent politician to have been assassinated in post-Soviet Russia.Moscow's TV Tsentr state television channel released footage from video surveillance cameras that suggested the killer might have fired the shots from a slow-moving street cleaning lorry as it drove past Nemtsov.The footage, which was recorded from a great distance, shows the lorry driving past the silhouettes of two pedestrians believed to be Nemtsov and his girlfriend.When the vehicle passes, only one pedestrian remains and a person is seen running from the lorry towards a passing car, which stops on the middle of the road, lets the person get in, and quickly drives away.Russia's Investigative Committee, a powerful agency that reports directly to Putin, has suggested that Nemtsov could have been killed by opposition members who want to destabilise the country.Putin had earlier said through his spokesman that the crime was a provocation.The Investigative Committee also said that the crime might be linked to Islamist extremists because of Nemtsov's criticism of the attack on French magazine Charlie Hebdo, or to "radicals" from either side of the conflict inside Ukraine.Opposition supporters and independent observers dismissed the investigators' claims and expressed fear that the killing will fuel more political violence in the country.Anda sedang membaca artikel tentang
