World leaders blame Vladimir Putin for Alexei Navalny’s death | SBS News

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died on Friday after collapsing and losing consciousness at the penal colony north of the Arctic Circle where he was serving a long jail term, the Russian prison service said. Navalny, by far Russia’s most famous opposition leader, rose to prominence more than a decade ago by lampooning the elite class around President Vladimir Putin and voicing allegations of corruption on a vast scale. He was 47. World leaders and Navalny’s wife have wasted no time in blaming the reported death on Putin and his government.
