Alexei Navalnys team accuses Russia authorities of hiding his body, BBC News
Alexei Navalny s mother has been unable to recover her son s body after his death in an Arctic jail, a close aide to the dead Russian opposition leader says. Lyudmila Navalnaya was told his body would only be handed over once a postmortem examination had been completed. Navalny s team believes the anticorruption campaigner was murdered on the orders of President Vladimir Putin. Prison officials reportedly told Lyudmila an initial postmortem examination was inconclusive and a second would have to be carried out. Navalny s allies claim his body is purposely being withheld by the Russian authorities so they can cover traces, and call for the body to be returned to his family immediately.
