Alexei Navalny’s mother has said she has seen the body of her son – and that officials are trying to force her to hold a private burial ceremony without mourners.<\/p>\n

Lyudmila Navalnaya, speaking in a video published on YouTube, said officials had told her “time is not working for you” and that suggested her son’s body was “decomposing”.<\/p>\n

She said officials had threatened to “do something” with the body if she didn’t agree to a secret funeral.<\/p>\n

“I’m recording this video because they started threatening me,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Looking into my eyes, they say that if I do not agree to a secret funeral, they will do something with my son’s body.”<\/p>\n

She also quoted an investigator as telling her: “Time is not working for you, corpses are decomposing.”<\/p>\n

There was no immediate response from Russian investigators.<\/p>\n

Mr Navalny – a vocal critic of President Vladimir Putin<\/strong> and a leading face in Russian opposition to his leadership – died in an Arctic penal colony.<\/p>\n

His death was announced last Friday.<\/p>\n

Ms Navalnaya has been calling on authorities to release his body to the family since then.<\/p>\n

It came as Mr Navalny’s team said his death certificate showed he had died from “natural causes”.<\/p>\n

Mr Navalny’s widow, Yulia Navalnaya, on Monday accused Vladimir Putin<\/strong> of being responsible for the death of her husband and claimed he had died as a result of the nerve agent, novichok.<\/p>\n

She also accused authorities of hiding his body so traces of the poison would disappear. Mr Navalny was previously poisoned with the nerve agent in August 2020, but survived.<\/p>\n

Kremlin spokesman Dmitriy Peskov said the Russian president did not watch the video and would not comment given Mrs Navalnaya had recently been widowed, but he denied the novichok allegations.<\/p>\n

According to Russia’s prison service, Mr Navalny fell unconscious and died suddenly on Friday after a walk at the “Polar Wolf” penal colony above the Arctic Circle where he was serving a three-decade sentence.<\/p>\n

His body was reportedly taken to the Salekhard District Clinical Hospital morgue, but Mr Navalny’s mother Lyudmila and his lawyers were “not allowed to go in”.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
