Navalny’s press secretary, Kira Yarmysh:
Alexey Navalny was murdered. His death occurred on February 16 at 2:17 p.m. local time, according to the official message to Alexey’s mother.
An employee of the colony said that the body of Navalny is now in Salekhard. It was picked up by investigators from the [Investigative Committee]. Now they are conducting ‘investigations’ with him.
We demand that Alexey Navalny’s body be handed over to his family immediately.
People in Russia need us more than ever now. Help us to continue our work.
