Lyudmila Navalnaya given three hours to agree to private ceremony or her son would be ‘buried in penal colony’
The last days of Alexei Navalny
Russian authorities told Alexei Navalny’s mother her son would be buried in the Arctic penal colony where he died unless she agreed within three hours to a secret funeral, Navalny’s spokesperson has said.
Kira Yarmysh tweeted on Friday: “An investigator called Alexei’s mother an hour ago and gave her an ultimatum. Either she agrees to a secret funeral without a public farewell within three hours, or Alexei will be buried in the colony.”
