UK Imposes Sanctions on Leaders of Russian Prison Where Alexei Navalny Died
The UK has imposed sanctions on six Russian prison officials following the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, freezing their assets and banning them from entering the country. The US is also set to announce sanctions against Russia over Navalny's death and the conflict in Ukraine. Western leaders blame the Russian authorities, including President Putin, for Navalny's death and are calling for a transparent investigation. Navalny's family alleges that his body is being held for "chemical analysis," while Russian authorities have not confirmed its whereabouts.
