Britain sanctions prison leaders where Navajo died

The sanctioned, including the mayor and the five deputy prison speakers, have been banned from entering Great Britain now, while their assets will be established, said Great Britain Foreign Secretary David Cameron.

It is clear that Russian authorities have seen Navajo as a threat and constantly tried to silence him, Cameron said.

The “Persons who are responsible for the brutal treatment they made to the Navajo must be very aware that we will be held responsible”, he added.

Russian authorities in the Arctic announced Navalny's death on February 16th.

Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, promoted Russia's Deputy Director of Prison Service (FSIN), Valerry Boyariev, to the rank of Colonel General, just three days after the death of the loud Kremlin critic in the Arctic prison, a Navalny associate said on Tuesday.

The Kremlin, which for many years has avoided the mention of Navalny by name, broke the official silence on February 19th, saying an investigation is under way and will be conducted under Russian law.

The location of the Navajo body has not been disclosed by Russian authorities, while efforts to locate it have been banned.

Yulia Navalnaya, the wife of the late Russian opposition leader, has accused Russian authorities of hiding the body of Navalny, as they are waiting to clear his body of Novicok's traces.

More than 67,000 Russian citizens have sent letters to Russia's Detective Commission, demanding that Alexei Navalny's body be returned to the family, media medium Medusa reported on Tuesday.

The West has accused the Russian state in charge of killing Putin.

Navalny has been sentenced to more than 19 years in prison on charges he and his supporters have been considered politically motivated.

He was poisoned in 2020 with Novicok nervous agent, and the world blamed the state camera, in charge of Putin, on that decision.

Navalny had recovered from Germany after the poisoning, and on the day of his return to Russia, he was sent to prison. / REL
