"Navalny's Body Returned to Family by Russia, Confirms Spokeswoman"
Russian authorities returned Alexey Navalny's body to his mother after initially denying access and pressuring the family to hold a secret funeral. Questions remain about the nature of Navalny's death, with his spokesperson stating that the family was shown a medical report citing natural causes. Navalny's widow accused Putin of mistreating his corpse and challenged his proclaimed Christian faith. A public funeral for Navalny could be disruptive for Putin, and over 400 people were detained after leaving tributes to Navalny. The family's spokesperson did not specify if they agreed to any conditions for the funeral.
