After the death of Kremlin opponent Alexeï Navalny on Friday February 16, his mother has still not been able to recover his remains. The results of the autopsy are expected to be released next week, according to Russian authorities.
Since the announcement of the death of Alexei Navalny on Friday February 16, his mother has been searching tirelessly for his body. She traveled to the Russian penal colony where he was serving his sentence, and left with an official document confirming her son’s death. But she couldn’t see his remains. Although she went to the morgue, the body could not be found. “We are still waiting for the official death certificate“, said Kira Yarmysh, spokesperson for Alexeï Navalny.
Gatherings in honor of Alexei Navalny banned
The family is asking for his body. The commission of inquiry promises that an autopsy is underway and that the results will be released next week. In Moscow, the capital, hundreds of residents came to lay flowers in his memory. But tributes are prohibited. No less than 340 demonstrators were arrested on Saturday February 17 in Moscow, according to a Russian human rights NGO.
