CNN) – Last week, the mother of Russian opposition politician Alexi Navalani, who was killed in an Arctic Penalty Colony last week, has seen her son’s body and a medical report has been shown that claimed that he died due to natural reasons.
Ludmila Navalanaya said that he had seen his son’s body at a morgue in Salakhard on Wednesday, the city of Siberian near the jail where Navalani was held from December after refusing to reach the days after his death.
He also saw a medical report in which the cause of his death was natural, Navalani’s spokesperson, Kira Yarmaish said on X.
In a video posted on his son’s YouTube channel, Navalanaya said: “According to the law, he should have given me to Alexi’s body immediately, but he has not done so yet. Instead, they blackmail me and determine the conditions for where, when and how Alexi should be buried. ,
“I am recording this video because they threatened me. In my eyes, they say that if I do not agree for a secret funeral, they will do something with my son’s body, ”he said.
Navalanaya claimed that an investigator named Voropayev told him: “Time is working against you. The corpse is disintegrating. “He did not give the full name of the officer.
He also claimed that the Russian investigative committee would like to secretly bury his body without saying “goodbye,” he would like to “say goodbye.” He said that investigators “claimed that they know the cause of death and they have all medical legal documents,” and they signed their medical death certificate.
Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov told CNN’s Matthew Chance that she had not seen Navalni’s mother’s comments about her son’s body and issues that claim that she is experiencing the investigators.
“Unfortunately, I haven’t seen his words, so I can’t comment on that,” Peskov said. He said that Kremlin “had to deal with various issues which are very important for our country.”
Navalni’s wife, Yulia Navalnaya, had first accused the Russian authorities of “hiding” her body in an attempt to hide the cause of her death. He said that he was “a path of the traces of the disappearance of another Novichox” and “Putin’s disappearance” and “Putin were waiting for the disappearance. Kremlin has stated that an investigation under the circumstances around Navalni’s death is “running” and the results are currently “unknown”.
The claims of Navalani’s mother have seen that her death was announced about a week later, when her death was announced on 16 February. The news attracted a prickly response from Western leaders, including the US President Joe Biden, who blamed his Russian counterpart, saying “what has happened to Navalani, is a greater proof of Putin’s cruelty.”
Meanwhile, Russia has accused the US of “hysteria” about its death. Russian External Affairs Minister Sergei Lavarov said at a G20 press conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Thursday, “The US works as prosecutors, and one as a punishment in one, and this hysteria is a prominent example of Navalani’s death.” “These people have no right to interfere in our home affairs, especially given their problems,” Lavrov said.
Navalni was Russia’s highest-profile opposition leader and criticized Putin, who has been in power for almost a quarter of a century at great personal risk. He died of death for March 17 before the presidential elections of the country, widely seen slightly more than a formality by the international community that will protect Putin the fifth term in power.
He returned to Russia from Germany in 2021, where he was treated after poisoning the Soviet-era’s nerve agent, Novichok. On arrival, Navalani was rapidly arrested – he dismissed the allegations as politically motivated – and spent the rest of his life in jail.
The Russian Jail Service stated that Navalani “felt unwell” and “almost immediately” lost consciousness in his Siberian Danden Colony.
Navalani was sentenced to 19 years in jail in August after being found guilty of creating an extremist community, extremist activists and various other crimes. He was already serving 11-and-a-half years of sentences in maximum security facility on fraud and denies other changes.
He was initially imprisoned in a punishment colony, about 150 miles east of Moscow, but in December his lawyers said that he had lost contact with him for about three weeks. After filing 680 requests to find him, his team announced on 25 December that he found “found” navalni “found” in the IK-3 Penal Colony in Kharp, known as “Polar Wolf”.
Navalani spent his last week in the IK-3 colony, where he described the terms of “cold” to the Moscow court, told him that he slept under a newspaper for heat.
