Russia Refuses EU Calls for Probe into Opposition Leader Navalny's Suspicious Death in Prison

Russian officials refused EU demands for an independent investigation into Navalny's death in prison.

Navalny's mother and wife have been unable to get his body from Russian authorities for a proper burial.

Navalny was an opposition leader who organized anti-government protests and exposed alleged government corruption.

He was poisoned in 2020 with a nerve agent and imprisoned upon return to Russia.

His death in prison was attributed to "sudden death syndrome" though his body showed signs of bruising.
