Widow Of Alexei Navalny Vows To Keep Fighting

(AP) – The widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has vowed to continue his fight against the Kremlin. Meanwhile, authorities denied his mother access to a morgue where his body is believed to be held after his death last week in an Arctic penal colony. In a video posted on social media Monday, Yulia Navalnaya accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of killing her husband in the remote prison and alleged that officials’ refusal to hand over the body to her mother-in-law was part of a cover-up. Russian authorities said that the cause for Navalny’s death Friday at age 47 is still unknown. And the results of any investigation are likely to be questioned abroad. Many Western leaders have already said they hold Putin responsible for the death.
