Alexei Navalny's widow accuses Putin: “He is holding my husband's body hostage” – Video

Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Alexeï Navalny, accuses Vladimir Putin of having taken her husband's body hostage. Navalnaya, who has vowed to continue the dissident's fight, claims the tsar did so to force her mother to agree to a secret burial. “It's been 9 days since Putin killed my husband… but apparently killing wasn't enough, now he took his body hostage, humiliating his mother to force her to agree to a secret burial,” Yulia said. Liudmila Navalnaya, Alexei's mother, is trying to find the remains of her son, who died on February 16 in a secret prison in the Arctic region. The authorities imposed a secret burial on him in order to return his body. “You tortured him while he was alive, now you torture him after his death,” Yulia concluded.
