“It is now obvious that the killers want to cover their tracks and, consequently, they are not handing over Alexei’s body, hiding it even from his mother.

” With these words, Alexei Navalny’s group, in a post on Telegram, accused the Russian authorities of not handing over his lifeless body “because they don’t want the method they used to kill Alexei to be known”.

The thriller over Navalny’s body continues as Russian authorities conclude that the Russian opposition leader did not die from a criminal act, but from “Sudden Death Syndrome”.

However, when his mother went to the prison morgue in Siberia to collect his body, she found that he was not there.

Where is Navalny? No one is answering Ludmila Navalny, who is now openly talking about murder and vows not to give up. “Even if they put me in jail, I will scream,” she says.

With Alexei Navalny labeled an “extremist” by the Russian state, anyone who protests for him, or is shown to have had a connection to him, risks arrest.

More than 400 Russians in 36 cities have been arrested, according to information reported by Russian media, for protesting in the wake of Navalny’s death.

Among them, a priest was also arrested, in St Petersburg, who announced that he would hold a funeral for the deceased.

According to Navalny’s widow, the priest, Grigory Mikhnov-Vaytenko, was arrested near his home while on his way to the Solovetsky Memorial to the victims of political persecution in the Soviet Union.

Shortly afterwards, as opposition member Boris Vishnevsky announced on Telegram, Mikhnov-Vaytenko was taken to hospital with a stroke.
