Through a statement, on February 16th a local Russian Federal Prison Service department claimed that Navlany's felt bad after walking February 16th and then lost consciousness.

An ambulance went to try to offer medical assistance, but he died, it was said in the statement.

All measures to bring him back to life were taken, but they did not produce positive results. The ambulance doctors pronounced the prisoner dead. The cause of death is being determined”, said the Russian Service statement.

His family and not even the Navajo team quickly confirmed this announcement, but it became known that a lawyer was on his way to Siberia where Navajo was serving a long sentence.

During the Security Conference in Munich, Navajo's wife, Yulia, for this event blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin, and his government, which, according to her, must face justice.

Russian authorities' announcement of the death of Navalny sparked outrage and condemnation by world leaders, who said the Kremlin critic paid “the highest price of” for his courage to speak against the state leadership. American President Joe Biden has held Putin responsible for the reported death of Navajo.

Navalny, a vocal critic of Putin, had been held in the Russian prison since 2021 on charges described by many as politically motivated.

In August, Navajo was convicted of establishing and funding an extremist organization, which he had always denied, and he had been sentenced to 19 years in additional prison terms.

He had only been sentenced to nine years in prison for violations of parole, for fraud and contempt of the court. /rel
