Yulia Navalnaya says wrote dissident late husband's name on Russian election ballot

Yulia Navalnaya told journalists and supporters Sunday that she wrote her dissident late husband's name on her ballot after voting in Berlin in Russia's presidential election.

"Obviously I wrote Navalny's name," she said outside the Russian embassy, adding: "It can't be that a month before a presidential campaign, a month before an election, (Russian leader Vladimir) Putin's main opponent, who was already in jail, was killed".

Crowds had earlier chanted: "Yulia, Yulia, we're with you," as she entered to cast her ballot.
