Russian Opposition Figure Alexei Navalny Mysterious Death Sparks Urgency for Investigation
🚨 Reports indicate that Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny, currently imprisoned, has passed away, as confirmed by the prison service via IFAX.
The Kremlin maintains they lack details regarding Navalny’s death cause, emphasizing ongoing comprehensive checks by the prison service.
Navalny’s demise is attributed to a detached blood clot. Following a walk, he felt unwell, losing consciousness. Despite resuscitation attempts, he succumbed at 14:17, having fallen ill around 1 p.m., as reported by Russian media.
