Russian authorities have extended the deadline for a preliminary probe into the still unexplained death of imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. The deadline has been pushed back until April 20, with no official information released by the government regarding the cause of death.
Navalny, who was serving a 19-year sentence on extremism charges, passed away in February at a remote Arctic penal colony. While penitentiary authorities stated that Navalny felt unwell and fainted after a walk in the prison yard, the exact cause of death remains undisclosed.
