Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s body returned to his mother, spokesperson says


Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s body has been returned to his mother, his spokesperson said Saturday.

Navalny, 47, died in prison, the country’s prison service said last week.

“Huge gratitude to everyone who has been demanding this with us. So far Lyudmila Ivanovna is in Salekhard,” Navalny’s spokesperson, Kira Yarmys, said in a translated post on X. “We don’t know whether the authorities will interfere with carrying them out the way the family wants and as Alexey deserves. We will provide information as it becomes available.”

Plans for a funeral have not been announced.
