Widow of Alexei Navalny says lab tests confirm he was poisoned in prison
"Navalnaya, who lives abroad, posted a video on X in which she said biological material from Navalny was smuggled abroad in 2024 and then examined by two laboratories. These labs in two different countries reached the same conclusion: Alexei was killed. More specifically, he was poisoned, Navalnaya said, urging the two laboratories to release the findings. These results are of public importance and must be published. We all deserve to know the truth, she said."
"Navalny, 47, died suddenly on 16 February 2024, while being held in a jail about 40 miles (64km) north of the Arctic Circle, where he had been sentenced to decades in prison to be served in a special regime. Navalny's allies have accused the Kremlin repeatedly of killing him allegations Moscow has dismissed as absurd. Russian officials insist he died of a mixture of diseases, including heart arrhythmia triggered by hypertension. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday he was unaware of Navalnaya's claims."
Alexei Navalny, 47, died suddenly on 16 February 2024 while imprisoned about 64 km north of the Arctic Circle, serving decades in a special regime. Biological material from Navalny was secretly smuggled out of Russia and examined by two foreign laboratories, which reached the same conclusion that he was poisoned. The laboratories and poison have not been named. Surveillance footage from Navalny's final day has vanished despite near-constant camera monitoring. Russian officials maintain he died from a mixture of diseases including heart arrhythmia triggered by hypertension, and Moscow dismisses accusations of Kremlin involvement as absurd. Allies released photographs of the cell showing apparent vomit and blood.
