Navalny's mother to Putin: Let me see my son's body

Lyudmila Navalnaya, the mother of Putin critic Alexei Navalny, has made a plea to the Russian president to release her son's body after he died in an Arctic prison.

Attempts to locate the body have repeatedly been shut down by the prison mortuary and local authorities.

In a video statement, she says: "I demand that Alexei's body be released immediately so that I can bury him in a humane way."
