Alexei Navalny's body has been returned to his mother more than a week after he died in a Russian prison.
The body of leading Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny has been returned to his mother, his spokesperson says.
It comes after she had reportedly been told to agree to a "secret" burial, or else he would be buried at the prison colony where he died.
In a post on X, Navalny's spokesperson Kira Yarmysh thanked everybody who had demanded the return of his body.
"The funeral is yet to take place," she wrote.
"We don't know whether the authorities will interfere with it being carried out in the way the family wants and as Alexei deserves."

Did you just comment basically the same thing in another thread? "republican traitor filfth"? or is that some new talking point when it comes to Russia? To automatically make anyone think everyone who votes Republican is a horrible traitor (I'm not, many fine people around me are)?
Oh man I miss the calm of non US-election-season internet. No astroturfing.
Both sides aren't the same. They haven't been for a while now. Trump is just a manifestation of that.
These fuckers actively tried to overthrow the government. Fuck them, and anyone who is still voting for the party that's still trying to downplay January 6th.
