"I'm recording this video because they started threatening me. Looking into my eyes they say that if I don't agree to a secret funeral they will do something with my son's body," she said.

Navalnaya claimed that an investigator named Voropayev told her: "Time is working against you. The corpse is decomposing." She did not give the full name of the official.

She also claimed the Russian Investigative Committee looking into the circumstances of her son's death would like to bury his body "secretly without saying goodbye."

She said the investigators "claim that they know the cause of death and that they have all the medical legal documents," and that she had signed his medical death certificate."

"US President Joe Biden met with Navalny's wife and daughter in California on Thursday, where he expressed his condolences and his "admiration" for Navalny's "extraordinary courage and his legacy of fighting against corruption."

Good on Joe.

On the national news today it was said the choice Navalnaya faces is a private burial with no onlookers or they will bury Alexey at the prison graveyard.

In other words they don't want the world looking at the body nor an outside autopsy done, seems to be the underlying message. Along with the acknowledgement they've created a martyr and so want to keep everything hush hush. Either way, this stinks of murder and political influence.

No public funerals for political opponents!

It might make Pooty Pants feel bad about what he did.
