Alexei Navalny mother’s plea to Putin: Give me my son’s body so I can bury him with dignity
The mother of dead Russian dissident Alexei Navalny has issued a direct plea to Vladimir Putin for the release of her son’s body so she can “bury him with dignity”.
In a video filmed outside the Arctic penal colony where he died on Friday, Lyudmila Navalnaya, 69, said she had been trying to see him for five days but didn’t even know where he was being kept.
“Let me finally see my son. I demand that Alexei’s body be released immediately so that I can bury him in a humane way,” she said, where it is minus 10C.
