The widow of Russian opposition leader Alexi Navalni vowed to continue her fight against Kremlin on Monday, while officials denied their mother of reaching a morgue, where her body was held last week after her death in an Arctic Penal Colony.
Fighting tears, Yulia Navalanaya accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of killing her husband in a distant jail and vowed to punish him and other alleged criminals.
He also slammed the officials, saying that they were refusing to hand over the body to Navalni’s mother to cover their alleged killing, and referred to her alleged poison with the Novachok nerve agent of the Soviet-era.
Russian officials said that the cause of Navalni’s death on Friday at the age of 47 is still unknown. He was imprisoned since January 2021, when he returned to Moscow after recurring poison with a Novichok-type nerve agent in Germany, who convicted Kremlin. He received the conditions of three jails since his arrest, rejecting several allegations as politically motivated.
Navalanaya said, “They are cowards and are hiding their body, refusing to give their mother and lying badly waiting for another Putin’s disappearance of Novichok.”
He urged the Russians to rally behind him, “Not only to share sorrow and endless pain that has covered us and has caught us, but also my anger.”
“Anger, anger, hatred for those who dared to kill our future,” he said. “I address you with the words of Alexi, in which I really believe: it’s not a shame to reduce it, it is a shame not to do anything.
Navalanaya urged all those who mourned Navalani to unite to fulfill their dreams of the “beautiful Russia of the future, so that the” unimaginable sacrifice “he made would not be in vain.
“The main thing that we can do for ourselves and ourselves, keep fighting,” he said. “Strong, more fierce and bravely what we did earlier.
Navalni spokesman Kiara Varmaish said that the country’s top criminal investigative agency, the investigative committee informed Ludmila Navalnay that the cause of his son’s death was unknown and the official investigation was extended. “They lie, buy time for themselves and don’t even hide it,” Yarmash posted on X, in the east Twitter,
Many world leaders convicted President Vladimir Putin and his government for Navalni’s death. On Monday, Josep Borel, head of the European Union Foreign Policy, said the block was banning Russia.
He “Putin contained the responsibility for Navalani’s death, but we can go to the institutional structure of the peninsular system in Russia,” to track those people and impose a freeze and travel ban of property.
Kremlin spokesperson Dimitri Peskov slammed that he described by Western leaders as “Borish” and “unqualified” statements, who had held Putin responsible for Navalani’s death.
Peskov said in a call with reporters, “Those statements cannot do any harm to the head of our state, but they are definitely not being made for those who make them.”
Yarmish said that the 69 -year -old mother and her lawyers of Navalani were not allowed at the morgue at Sarkhard on Monday morning. Employees did not reply when they asked whether the body was there, Yarmish said.
Asked that Navalani’s body could be handed over to his family, Peskov replied that the Kremlin was not involved in those proceedings, stating that the official investigation was in line with the law.
Navalani’s aide Ivan Zhedanov condemned Russian officials as “Laki and False”. “It is clear what they are doing now – covering their crime mark,” he wrote on Monday.
Navalni’s death has denied Russian opposition to his most famous and inspiring politicians less than a month before an election, but Putin is sure to give one and six years in power. It gave a devastating blow to many Russians, who saw Navalni as the hope of political change after his incredible criticism of Kremlin.
Around 300 people have been detained by the police in Russia, as they have been streamful for ad hoc memorials and monuments for the victims of political oppression with flowers and candles to pay tribute to Navalani, a group that monitors political arrests. The US and the British Ambassadors mourned Navalni’s death in a monument in Moscow.
The officials closed some monuments across the country and were extracting flowers at night, but they kept appearing.
Ovd-info said that more than 50,000 people have submitted a request to the Russian government that Navalni’s remains have been handed over to their relatives.
Russia’s federal penitentary service reported that Navalani felt ill after a walk on Friday and fainted in the Yamlo-Nnets region, about 1,900 km (1,200 mi) in the north-east of Moscow, in Kharp city in Kharp city. An ambulance arrived, but cannot be revived, the service said, saying that the cause of death is still “established.”
Some Russian media claimed that Navalani’s body bore brruzes, possibly due to the efforts of Medics to revive it. Reports could not be independently confirmed.
After the final decision, who assigned him a 19 -year term, Navalani said that he understood that he was “serving a life sentence, which is measured by the length of my life or the length of the life of this regime.”
In Brussels on Monday, Navalni’s widow met with European Union Ministers and other European Union officials, considering sanctions against Moscow on Navalani’s death.
Navalanaya said in a video statement, “By killing Alexi, Putin killed me half, half of my heart and half of my soul.” “But I still have the other half, and it tells me that I have no right to give up.”
