Jailed Russian opposition figure and outspoken Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny has died, the Russian prison service said. Navalny’s spokesperson said his lawyer is traveling to the Siberian penal colony where the opposition figure was serving multiple sentences for fraud, extremism and other charges he denied as politically motivated.
World leaders have reacted with shock and sadness to Navalny's death, with US President Joe Biden saying that if reports of his death are confirmed, 'make no mistake: Putin is responsible.' Navalny's wife vowed Kremlin leaders will be 'brought to justice.' Navalny made global headlines when he was poisoned with a nerve agent in 2020. The CNN film chronicling the attempted assassination airs Saturday at 9 p.m. ET on CNN and is streaming on Max.
