Alexei Navalny's mother has accused Russia of trying to "blackmail" her into burying his body in a secret ceremony. Lyudmila Navalnaya, 69, has said that she was only able to see her son's body eight days after his death.
"According to the law, they should have given me Alexei's body right away, but they have not done so until now. Instead, they are blackmailing me, setting me conditions on where, when and how Alexei should be buried. This is illegal," she said in a video statement.
