Alexei Navalny's mother was shown her son's body and demanded a secret burial

Alexei Navalny's mother, Lyudmila Navalnaya, released a video in which she said investigators had shown her son's body and began dictating terms about "where, how and when Alexei should be buried."

"In my presence, they received orders either from the Kremlin or from the Investigative Committee. They want the funeral to be done secretly, without a farewell. They want to take me to a fresh grave and say. "Here is your son lying down." I disagree with all of this. They started threatening me and looking me in the eyes, they said that if I don't agree to the secret burial, they will do something with my son's body," said Navalny's mother.

According to him, investigator Voropaev openly said that "time does not work in your favor, the corpses are decomposing." Lyudmila Navalnaya once again demanded that her son's body be handed over to her.

The causes of Navalny's death were natural, the obituary said.
