Widow of Navalny accuses Putin of mocking Christianity for refusing to return her husband’s body

The widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny accused President Vladimir Putin of mocking Christianity by trying to force his mother to agree to a secret funeral after his death in a penal colony. Yulia Navalnaya said in a video released Saturday that Navalny's mother, who wants her son's body returned to her, is being “literally tortured” by authorities who had threatened to bury Navalny in the Arctic prison. “Give us the body of my husband,” Navalnaya said.
