"Navalny's Family Demands Justice from Putin: Grief, Resilience, and Renewed Opposition"

Alexei Navalny's mother, Lyudmila Navalnaya, appealed to President Vladimir Putin to release her son's body for burial after his death in a Russian prison colony. Navalny's wife, Yulia Navalnaya, also blamed Putin for his death and vowed to continue his work. The family and allies believe authorities are delaying the release of the body to hide evidence of murder. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed Navalnaya's remarks as "boorish and unfounded," but she demanded the return of Navalny's body for a dignified burial.
