The body of leading Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny has been returned to his mother, his spokesperson says.
It comes after she had reportedly been told to agree to a "secret" burial, or else he would be buried at the prison colony where he died.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Navalny’s spokesperson Kira Yarmysh thanked everybody who had demanded the return of his body.
"The funeral is yet to take place," she wrote.
