Russia pressures Navalny's family over funeral plans amid global calls for transparent investigation
-
Russian authorities gave Navalny's mother an ultimatum to agree to a secret funeral within 3 hours or he would be buried in the penal colony where he died. She refused.
-
Authorities showed Navalny's mother his body but were "blackmailing" her to agree to a secret funeral without mourners.
-
Over 80,000 people signed a petition asking for Navalny's body to be given to his family.
-
Russian officials and state media are discrediting Navalny's wife, Yulia Navalnaya, with fake accusations.

Navalnaya and her daughter met with President Biden, who called Navalny a man of incredible courage and said he holds Putin responsible for his death.
