"Pain, disappointment, despair.” Norway’s Kirkenes mourns the death of Russia’s opposition leader
Alexei Navalny died in a high-security penal colony in the village of Kharp in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The news was first published by the Russian Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN), and later confirmed by Kremlin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov. Navalny was kept in terrible conditions and was regularly placed in a segregation unit. There were attempts to infect him with communicable diseases, and he was not given medical assistance on time. According to FSIN’s version, Navalny died because of a detached blood clot (although this can only be established by an autopsy, which is yet to be made).
