Putin critic’s ‘bruised body seen in morgue’, claims independent newspaper - live
Alexei Navalny’s team, as well as the Russian authorities, have not confirmed the whereabouts of his body
Moscow police detain people at Navalny memorial event
Vladamir Putin believes that he is “untouchable” after years of an iron grip on Russia, the wife of jailed opposition figure Vladimir Kara-Murza has said, as she accused the autocrat of murdering Alexei Navalny.
Speaking to the BBC, Evgenia Kara-Murza said: “All that impunity that lasted for decades has led [Putin] to believe he’s somehow untouchable.”
It comes as an independent Russian newspaper cited an anonymous source claiming that Mr Navalny’s body had been delivered to the Salekhard District Clinical Hospital.
The unnamed source, identified as an experienced paramedic, said the body was bruised and had been transported from the nearby town of Labytnangi.
They turned it over so soon? And all in one piece and at the same time? Not even part of it poisonous or radioactive or possibly in space? Surprising. Seems lazy of the Russians. I expected far more imagination in their casual brutality.
Navalny may very well have been murdered by Putin's goons. But this particular story is most likely somebody trying to create a viral sensational news for fun or as propaganda. There's no reason to trust this source.
"may very well have been"??? as if there's any doubt?
