Alexei Navalny's Mother Demands From Putin To Give Out Her Son's Body

She has recorded a video message.

The mother of deceased Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalny has recorded an appeal to Putin.

In the video, she demands that her son's body be immediately handed over to her in order to bury him in a human way.

"The Polar Wolf penal colony No. 3, where my son Alexei Navalny died on February 16, is behind my back. For the fifth day I cannot see him, I am not given his body, I am not even told where he is. I appeal to you, Vladimir Putin. The resolution of the issue depends only on you, let me finally see my son. I demand to hand over Alexei's body immediately, so that I could bury him in a human way," she said.

Yesterday, the investigator informed the relatives that the body will not be handed over in the next 14 days, as a certain "chemical expertise" will be conducted. Its essence was not disclosed.
