Alexei Navalny, a thorn in the side of the Kremlin and Russia’s most prominent political dissident, died in prison after being poisoned by the Kremlin, the UK and its European allies have said.
Navalny, a fierce critic of Russian president Vladimir Putin, died while serving a 19-year jail term in a penal colony around 40 miles of the Arctic Circle in charges widely thought to be politically motivated.
