Mother of Alexei Navalny: Toxicology Report Confirms Murder

The mother of the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, Lyudmila Navalnaya, stated that the finding of toxins in her son’s body confirms her belief that he was murdered, not that he died of natural causes in prison. This statement follows the announcement that Navalny was killed using frog poison. Russia has dismissed accusations of involvement in his death. Navalny’s partner, Yulia, expressed confidence that justice will be achieved for his death. Citizens and foreign diplomats laid flowers at Navalny's grave in Moscow, honoring his memory.
