Tests show that Novolus was poisoned in prison, says his widow

The wife of the deceased of the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navali said she had been killed in poisoning while serving a prison term in the Arctic colony in 2024.

In a video divided into social media, Julia Novolnaya stated that the analysis of smuggled biological patterns conducted by laboratories in the two countries showed that her husband was “killed”.

It did not provide details about the poison, allegedly used, on samples or on the analysis – but caused two laboratories to publish its results.

Navalny – against the corruption campaign and the very vocal leader of the opposition of Russia – suddenly died in prison on February 16, 2024 at the age of 47.

In 2020, he was poisoned by Nervous Novichok and almost died. He underwent treatment in Germany and was arrested at the airport after returning to Russia.

At the time of his death, he went to prison for three years on fabricated charges and was recently transferred to a penal colony in the Arctic circle.

Proponents and colleagues of the invasion in his fund against corruption (FBK) always supported that the Russian government participated in his death.

Navalnaya said that after her husband’s death in February 2024, his team was able to “get securely translated” biological samples abroad and that two laboratories in different countries concluded that he was poisoned.

It did not share the location of the laboratories – but it meant that they did not make their conclusions publicly available from “political reasons”.

“They do not want the uncomfortable truth at the time,” she said.

Navalnaya also suggested that she would be refused to investigate her husband’s death further: “” You are, of course, your wife, but there is no criminal case, there is no legal reason for you documents. “

“But I have reasons. Not legitimate but moral grounds.”

She added that Naval was her husband, friend and closest man – and “a symbol of hope for a better future for our country.”

“I know he was also a symbol for you,” she said over the images of the Moscow burial, which caught thousands, despite the warnings of the authorities.

“I will not remain silent. I claim that Vladimir Putin is guilty of the murder of my husband Alexei Novolu … I urge the laboratories who conducted research to make the results of public.”

On Wednesday, Kremlin’s press -secretary Dmitry Peskov said he did not know about Novolna’s statements.

The Navalnaya video also spoke in detail about her husband’s last days based on the fact that, according to her, there were testimony of employees in the colony that the BBC could not check.

According to her, on the day he died, the thunderstorm was taken out for a walk, but I became ill. When he was returned to the cell, “he lay on the floor, kneeling and started moaning in pain … Then he began to vomit.”

“Alexei had convulsions … The prison guards looked (his) suffering through the bars of the cellular communication window,” she said, citing the assumed testimony.

The ambulance was summoned only 40 minutes after the cluster was ill, his widow said, and he died shortly after. Later, the prison authorities told their mother Lidmila that her son had survived the “sudden death syndrome.” Later, state investigators said the death was caused by medical condition and arrhythmia.

Navalny’s associates shared previously invisible pictures in social media seeking to show their camera on the day he died and the tiny yard of the exercise where he was allowed.

Vladimir Putin, who carefully avoided calling the thunderstorm while he was alive, briefly referred to it a month after death stating that the passing man was “always a sad event”.

The Russian president also said he agreed to the planned replacement of the prisoner between the bulk and “some people” who had passed in Western prisons, provided that Novoln had not returned to Russia.

“But such a life. Nothing can be done with that,” Putin said.

It is highly unlikely that Moscow will give any additional comments to the death of a cluster.

Its popularity and ingenuity on the Internet have long knocked the Kremlin, while the senior figures were annoyed with investigations in high -profile government corruption.

With the death of the invasion, Russia has lost its last sublime opposition figure that disputed Putin’s management.

Many of his associates went to prison or escaped from Russia. The thunderstorm itself faces arrest, and she and her two children live abroad.

In February 2022, in February 2022, in February 2022, the repression of civil society increased after a full -scale invasion of Ukraine, and new punitive laws that led to mass arrests pushed any opposition.

Both in life and in the death of the invasion managed to pull a huge crowd on the streets. Thousands of mourning appeared for his funeral In Moscow, in March 2024, despite reasoned fears of police repression.

Since then, no major opposition meetings have taken place in Russia.
