Navalny Killed on Putin's Order, Says Nemtsova

The death of Alexei Navalny marks a critical juncture for Russia's pro-democracy movement, eliciting international condemnation and calls for action.

Zhanna Nemtsova, daughter of murdered politician Boris Nemtsov and a pro-democracy activist, asserts that Alexei Navalny was killed on the order of Vladimir Putin, marking a severe blow to Russia's pro-democracy movement.
Navalny's death has sparked demonstrations in Russia and abroad, with many viewing it as an act of intimidation and a symbol of the Kremlin's ongoing suppression of opposition.
Western leaders, including President Joe Biden, have condemned Navalny's death, with calls for a reevaluation of policies towards Ukraine and a tightening of sanctions against Kremlin-linked corporations.
Despite the Kremlin's efforts to suppress opposition, Nemtsova remains hopeful, citing the potential for quick emergence of political leaders as seen in Belarus.
Navalny's mother and his lawyers were denied access to his body, with the cause of death reported as 'sudden death syndrome' and the official verification of the cause of death extended.
