Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny's widow accused the Kremlin on Monday of hiding his body to cover up his murder in an Arctic penal colony. Vowing to continue her late husband's fight against President Vladimir Putin, Yulia Navalnaya called on Russians to rally around her in a lengthy video address. Her comments came after Navalny's team said his mother and lawyers were denied access to his body and told the probe into what killed him had been extended.
The drama centered on the Arctic town of Salekhard, where prison officials said over the weekend his body had been taken, according to Yarmysh. The country’s main investigative body, the Investigative Committee, told the group that 'The cause of death is still 'unknown',' Yarmash said. 'They lie, buy time for themselves and do not even hide it,' she added.
