Navalny's mother has been unable to recover his body after his death

The whereabouts of the body of the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny remain unknown after the Russian authorities refused to release it to his family.

Alexei Navalny's mother has been unable to recover his body after his death in an Arctic jail, according to a close aide to the dead Russian opposition leader.

We hear from a young man who attended a vigil in memory of Navalny in southern Russia on Friday. He was arrested by police and later released.
