His death occurred on February 16 at 2:17 p.m. local time, according to the official message to Alexey\u2019s mother,\u201d Yarmysh said in a post on social media.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">            \u201cAn employee of the colony said that the body of Navalny is now in Salekhard. It was picked up by investigators from the IC [Investigative Committee].

It said it was investigating his \u201csudden death.\u201d    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">            Navalny posed one of the most serious threats to Putin during his rule, which has spanned more than two decades. He organized\u00a0anti-government street protests\u00a0and used his blog and social media to expose alleged corruption in the Kremlin and in Russian business.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">            He was jailed after returning to Russia in 2021 from Germany, where he had been treated after being poisoned with Novichok, a Soviet-era nerve agent. On arrival, Navalnvy was swiftly arrested on charges he dismissed as politically motivated.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">            Navalny has been incarcerated ever since, with longstanding concerns for his welfare\u00a0growing more intense\u00a0after he was transferred to a penal colony\u00a0north of the Arctic Circle.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">            Western condemnation of the Kremlin was swift and fierce following news of his death on Friday. US President Joe Biden laid the blame for Navalny\u2019s death at Putin\u2019s feet, while NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Russia has \u201cserious questions\u201d to answer.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">            This is a developing story and will be updated.    <\/p>\n\n<div>This post appeared first on cnn.com<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The body of Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny should be handed over to his family \u201cimmediately,\u201d his spokesperson Kira Yarmysh said Saturday, adding his mother has been officially notified of his death. \u201cAlexey Navalny was murdered.
