Navalny's mother says she was shown his body, claims Russian authorities are pushing for secret burial

Lyudmila Navalnaya, the wife of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who died suddenly last week in an Arctic penal colony, has repeatedly stated that she believes Russian President Vladimir Putin was involved in her husband's death. She has been allowed to see her son's body at a morgue but has faced pressure from Russian authorities to agree to a secret burial. Navalnaya has filed a lawsuit seeking the return of her son's remains and has accused the Kremlin of blackmailing her. The cause of death listed on the medical report was natural, but Navalnaya and her family have alleged that the Kremlin murdered him. Western governments and opposition figures have also accused the Russian government of being responsible for Navalny's death. Navalnaya has recorded videos expressing her concerns and urging Russians not to give up in the face of the situation. The widow has met with President Biden and has been demanding the return of her husband's body, which she believes is being withheld as a form of blackmail. The family and supporters have been calling for transparency regarding Navalny's death and the handling of his remains.
