The mother of Alexei Navalny, political opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin, stated that the assessment that her son died from poisoning “confirms her belief that he was murdered.” “This confirms what we knew from the beginning,” emphasized Lyudmila Navalnaya during her visit to her son’s grave in Moscow on Monday. “We knew that our son did not simply die in prison, but was murdered,” she added. Russia, which is accused of Navalny’s death, has rejected the related charges.
