The Russian Investigative Committee has set more conditions to release Alexey Navalny’s body to his mother, according to Ivan Zhdanov, the director of Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation.
Aside from conducting a secret funeral "among the family," the committee said they require the following three conditions:
The death certificate will be given to Navalny’s family once they agree to meet the above conditions, Zhdanov said in an interview with independent Russian journalist Alexander Plyushchev on Thursday.
- The body should be transported to Moscow on a special plane, and before arriving in the capital, Navalny’s mother should not announce the funeral in order for the crowd not to meet the body at the airport.
- The family must be accompanied by an employee of the investigative committee at all times before the funeral.
- Navalny’s mother should decide on the date of the funeral after arriving in Moscow. The body should be kept in the Moscow or Vladimir region before the funeral. According to Zhdanov, the investigative committee “is afraid that the morgue will be stormed.”
frank zappa ?
Would be fsck off funny. Vlad will have a small hernia if it's passed.
Alexei Navalny's mother has been told to agree to a "secret" burial for the Putin critic within three hours, Mr Navalny's spokeswoman says.
Otherwise, she was told, he would be buried at the Arctic Circle penal colony where he died a week ago.
Mr Navalny's mother has said she has been forced to sign a death certificate saying he died of natural causes.
The Kremlin has denied the allegations, calling Western reaction to the death "hysterical".
Mr Navalny's spokeswoman said the opposition leader's mother, Lyudmila, had refused to negotiate with the authorities as they "are not authorised to decide how and where her son should be buried".
She is demanding compliance with the law, according to which investigators are obliged to hand over the body within two days of establishing the cause of death," Kira Yarmysh said.
These two days are due to expire on Saturday.
