"Navalny's Widow Condemns Putin's Actions and Demands Release of Husband's Body"

Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Alexey Navalny, has accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of engaging in "satanism" by refusing to release her husband's body, stating that "no true Christian could ever do what Putin is now doing." Navalny's family and allies have accused Putin of having the 47-year-old killed and then holding his body to both hide his cause of death and out of fear that his funeral would draw large crowds. The Kremlin denied involvement in Navalny's death, which occurred in a Russian penal colony. Navalnaya has pleaded with Putin to release the body, holding him responsible for the Russian state's decision to hold Navalny's body and criticizing his actions as contradictory to his image as a devout Orthodox Christian.
