'He Fought for Us': Supporters Lay Flowers at Alexei Navalny's Grave in Moscow on Anniversary of His Death
Fifteen countries demand Russia conduct a transparent inquiry into Navalny's death and call for the release of all political prisoners amid ongoing repression.
- On Monday, mourners gathered in Moscow to mark two years since Alexei Navalny's death in custody, with a mound of bouquets rising above the snow at Borisovsky Cemetery.
- Analysis in European labs found traces of a rare neurotoxin in samples from Navalny's body, with five countries accusing the Kremlin of poisoning him using epibatidine and citing Russia's means, motive and opportunity.
- Under a tight security cordon, mourners including family members paid their respects at the cemetery, with representatives from several European embassies attending and a small choir singing at Navalny's graveside as temporary fences blocked access.
- Citing lab findings, international governments said Russian authorities `remain solely responsible` and demanded a thorough probe, while a coalition of 15 countries called on Russia to release all political prisoners.
- Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin spokesman, said the Kremlin does not accept such accusations, calling them biased and unfounded, after Navalny's death left the opposition leaderless and many allies jailed or in exile.
