Warsaw,--Poland's Senate leader Bogdan Borusewicz said Monday that Russia had denied him entry for the funeral of opposition activist Boris Nemtsov, who was gunned down in central Moscow on Friday.

"I wanted to pay respect to the slain Boris Nemtsov and to all Russians who think like him. But I have just learnt Russian authorities will not allow me to attend the funeral in Moscow," said Borusewicz, a key communist-era dissident and founding member of Poland's anti-regime Solidarity movement.
