(LaPresse) Mosca changes version on the death of Alexei Navalny. After announcing, on Friday 16 February, that the Russian dissident had died of thrombosis in the Siberian penal colony IK-3 – near the village of Charp, 60 kilometers beyond the Arctic Circle – where he was serving his sentence, on Saturday the authorities have announced that the death occurred due to one sudden death syndrome. But Navalny’s family is certain: the 47-year-old Putin opponent was killed and accuses the authorities of not wanting to return the body to the family to “hide the traces” of the crime.
In the images released by AP, the penal colony and the Charp settlement where Navalny has been since last December and where he lost his life. The 47-year-old Putin opponent had been in prison since January 2021, when he returned to Moscow after recovering in Germany from nerve agent poisoning that he blamed on the Kremlin. He was subsequently convicted three times, claiming each case was politically motivated, and received a 19-year sentence for extremism. After the latest verdict, Navalny said he understood that he was “serving a life sentence, which is measured by the length of my life or the length of the life of this regime.”
