"Navalny's Death Sparks Global Outcry and Demands for Transparency"
The mother of late Russian activist Alexei Navalny, who died in prison, has accused authorities of pressuring her to hold a secret funeral for her son. Russian investigators had initially refused to release Navalny's body to his family and are now allegedly blackmailing them to agree to a secret funeral. Navalny's spokeswoman stated that a medical report indicated he died of "natural causes," while a Kremlin source suggested that officials are concerned about his funeral turning into a political demonstration.
