Navalny's mother asks Putin to hand over the body. Lyudmila Navalnaya has not yet received the body nor has she been told where the body will be kept.

According to Russian authorities, Navalny, who was physically weakened after many days in repeated solitary confinement, collapsed in freezing temperatures on Friday during a walk in the prison camp in the polar region. Human rights activists accuse the Russian power apparatus of murder. Putin's critics have been repeatedly murdered in Russia in recent years.
