Moscow, Jul 11 (EFE).- Russian authorities today added Yulia Navalnaya, widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who died in mysterious circumstances in prison last February, to the list of extremists and terrorists.
The information appeared on the website of Rosfinmonitoring, a Russian financial regulator.
On Tuesday, Moscow’s Basmanny Court ordered Navalnaya, who lives abroad, to be arrested in absentia for participating in an extremist association and declared her wanted.
Navalnaya herself joked in a message on X that the decision of the Russian court was drafted in haste without complying with the usual procedures for such cases, such as opening a criminal case prior to the decision on the arrest.
The widow of the Russian opposition leader, who has vowed to continue her husband’s cause from exile, accuses President Vladimir Putin of being responsible for Navalny’s death and says his power is based on “disinformation, lies, deceit and provocations.”
“Your place is in prison,” he insisted in the message published on Tuesday.
Navalny died suddenly on February 16, a month before the March 17 presidential election in which Putin was the favorite candidate, following taking a walk in the IK-3 penitentiary in the Arctic town of Jarp (Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug), according to criminal authorities.
The Russian opposition accuses the Kremlin of being behind his death, while Putin claims that it was a death from natural causes.
