Lyudmila Navalnaya has published a video on YouTube saying she has been shown the body of her son, the Russian opposition leader who died in prison last week aged 47. She has accused Russian investigators of blackmailing her over the funeral of her son, claiming they were trying to force her to hold a private burial ceremony without mourners. Navalny's team have said the death certificate states he died from natural causes.
