After the suspicious death of Alexei Navalny, a staunch political opponent of Russian President Putin, in a Russian prison, the government has finally handed over his body to his family.
Alexei Navalny's funeral will take place in Moscow on Friday. His wife Yulia also confirmed the report and said the funeral would be held in a church in southern Moscow followed by burial in a cemetery on the other side of the Moscow River, two and a half kilometers away. Navalny used to go to this church in Moscow and his prayer meeting will be held there.
However, Iulianu says, I worry whether the Russian government will allow the funeral to take place peacefully. Putin and Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin are responsible for the death of Alexei Navalny. First, people sitting in the Russian government murdered Alexei Navalny, then tampered with Alexei's body and then made fun of his mother. Now even his memory is being made fun of.
Yulia said in her speech in the European Parliament that I have no confidence that my husband's last rites will be completed peacefully. Police can also arrest the people involved in this.
Meanwhile, people close to Navalny alleged that the government had foiled efforts to hold a prayer vigil in Alexei's honor at a hall in the Kremlin area where the Russian government operates.
