Late Russian dissident
Alexei Navalny’s wife, Yulia Navalnaya, has rejected the official finding that his death in February at an Arctic prison colony was due to a combination of illnesses.
The Kremlin denies accusations that President Vladimir Putin had Navalny murdered.
Navalny, aged 47, died suddenly on February 16 while serving over 30 years for charges he claimed were fabricated.
The death was attributed to various diseases, but Navalnaya insists he was deliberately left to die.
She questions the official account, claiming Navalny was taken to a punishment cell rather than a medical unit and had no history of heart issues per the autopsy.
Navalnaya demands a criminal investigation although she doubts it will occur under Putin’s regime.
She encourages anyone with information to come forward confidentially.
