Navalny's wife: Putin took my husband's body hostage

Yulia Navalnaya vowed to continue her husband's fight against a corrupt regime, as he called it, has begun her resistance.

The wife of Russian chief prosecutor, mysteriously extinguished in a prison in the Arctic district where she was held in inhumane conditions, accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of failing to give up his shame, which family earnestly seek.

It's been nine days since Putin killed my husband. But apparently killing wasn't enough: Now he has taken his body hostage, while his mother humiliates him by forcing him to accept a vacuum and silent burial”, she said.

In her statement, she continued the direct attack on the Russian leader.

“Putin likes to appear as a devout Christian. We knew his faith was false, but now we see it more clearly than ever. Faith is not to kiss an icon. Faith is goodness, mercy, and salvation. No Christian would ever do what he is doing with Alexei's body”, she added.

Navalny's former spokeswoman, Kira Yarmysch, earlier stated that officials from Russia's Detective Committee gave an ultimatum to his mother so that she could be hired for his previous burial without a public ceremony, or they would bury him in prison space in the Arctic where he died over a week ago.

If the Navy mother did not reconcile within three hours, the spokeswoman said, officials had insisted that they would bury her in prison known as “The Arctic Wyk”. Lyudmila Navalnaya refused to negotiate with the Detective Committee, saying this institution is not authorised to decide where and how her son will be buried.
