Former Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was killed with a punch to the heart, a technique by ex-KGB special forces agents, after being exposed to freezing conditions for several hours. Lyudmila Navalnaya traveled to the remote IK-3 prison where her son died, but since Saturday, when she arrived, she has been barred from seeing his body.
The court in the Arctic city of Salekhard will hear the case on March 4, officials said. The hearing will take place behind closed doors.
