The family of Alexei Navalny, the late Putin critic who died in a Russian prison, has been informed that his body will not be released for two weeks, citing "chemical analysis." A spokesperson confirmed Navalny's mother received this information. Russian authorities have not disclosed the body's whereabouts, rejecting attempts to locate it. Navalny's wife accused the authorities of hiding the body and directly blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for her husband's death. In a video, Yulia Navalnaya vowed to continue Navalny's fight for a "free Russia," alleging the body is being held until traces of Novichok poisoning disappear.
