Moscow prosecutor's office warns protests related to Navalny's death are not authorized
From CNN's Niamh Kennedy
The prosecutor's office in Moscow has warned that any demonstrations in the Russian capital over the reported death of Alexey Navalny have not been authorized.
In a statement posted on its official website Friday, the prosecutor addressed individuals considering participating in a "mass action" in Moscow city center.

"We draw attention to the fact that this mass event has not been coordinated with the city's executive authorities in accordance with the procedure established by law," the prosecutor stressed.

The prosecutor warned that both appeals to participate and participation in unauthorized mass actions constitute offenses under Russian law and could result in individuals being placed under administrative arrest.
