'Sudden death', Navalny's body disappears. Hundreds of Russians took to the streets in dozens of cities to pay homage to the missing dissident and the police stopped almost 400 people.

The G7 foreign ministers expressed their "indignation" calling on the Russian authorities "to fully clarify the circumstances" of Navalny’s death. But Vladimir Putin, directly called into question by several American leaders, continues to remain silent. And for the moment there is no sign there will be soon.
