٠٠:٠٠:٢٨Video captured on Saturday shows the IK-3 prison colony in Kharp, a settlement in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District, where Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalny died.
Alexei Navalny's death was reported by Russia's Federal Penitentiary Service on Friday. He was 47. The cause of death had not been released at the time of publication.
US President Joe Biden called the incident 'further proof of Putin's cruelty', while Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky alleged that it was 'obvious' that Vladimir Putin was behind the death. None of them provided any evidence to back their assertions.
Russian presidential spokesperson Dmitri Peskov accused Western leaders of making 'entirely insane' and 'entirely unacceptable' statements. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that 'the instant reaction of NATO leaders to Navalny's death in the form of direct accusations against Russia is self-disclosing.'
"There is no forensic examination yet, but the West already has conclusions ready," Zakharova added.
Navalny returned to Moscow in January 2021, after being treated in Germany for an alleged poisoning attempt while on a flight in Russia in August 2020.
He was initially detained at the airport in the Russian capital, and sentenced to two and a half years in jail for a parole violation stemming from a 2014 embezzlement conviction. The politician was subsequently charged with fraud and contempt of court, and given another nine years in prison.
Navalny claimed all accusations against him were politically motivated. In August 2023, he received another 19 years for inciting and financing extremism, among other charges.
