Russian authorities told Alexei Navalny’s mother her son would be buried in the Arctic penal colony where he died unless she agreed within three hours to a secret funeral, Navalny’s spokesperson has said.
Kira Yarmysh tweeted on Friday: “An investigator called Alexei’s mother an hour ago and gave her an ultimatum. Either she agrees to a secret funeral without a public farewell within three hours, or Alexei will be buried in the colony.”
