Navalny's body is not in Salekhard morgue, says spokeswoman

Alexei Navalny's spokeswoman on Saturday said his body was not in the morgue in Salekhard, the town near to the prison colony where Navalny died on Friday.

Navalny's spokeswoman, Kira Yarmysh, said Navalny's mother and lawyer had visited the morgue to find it closed, despite assurances from the prison colony that it was working and Navalny's body was there.

"Alexei's body is not in the morgue," Yarmysh said on X, formerly Twitter.
