Navalny’s mother travelling to Russian prison where he died – Novaya Gazeta

KHARP, Russia (Reuters) – Lyudmila Navalnaya, the mother of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, was travelling to the prison colony where he died, accompanied by Navalny’s lawyer, Russia’s Novaya Gazeta newspaper reported on Saturday.

Navalny, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most formidable domestic opponent, fell unconscious and died on Friday after a walk at the “Polar Wolf” Arctic penal colony where he was serving a three-decade sentence, authorities said.
