Alexei Navalny’s widow Yulia Navalnaya has had her account suspended on social media platform X.
It is unclear why her account has been suspended by the social network, formerly Twitter – which is owned by Elon Musk.
“Account suspended,” a notice says on her account.
Earlier today on her X account, Ms Navalnaya urged the Kremlin to “give back Alexei’s body and let him be buried with dignity”.
It also comes after she vowed to continue her husband’s fight against the Kremlin – and accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of killing the country’s opposition leader in a powerful nine-minute video.
In the video, published on YouTube on Monday and shared on X by Mr Navalny’s official spokesperson Kira Yarmysh, she also alleged officials’ refusal to hand over his body to his mother was part of a cover-up.
“They are cowardly and meanly hiding his body, refusing to give it to his mother and lying miserably while waiting for the trace of” poison to disappear, Ms Navalnaya said.
She suggested her husband might have been killed with a novichok-style nerve agent.
Mr Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov has denied the allegations as “unfounded” and “insolent”.
In her video statement, Ms Navalnaya said: “By killing Alexei, Putin killed half of me, half of my heart and half of my soul.”
“But I still have the other half, and it tells me that I have no right to give up.
“I will continue the work of Alexei Navalny,” she said.
