answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2024 answer text <p>On 16 February, authorities at the prison colony IK-3 announced the death of Alexei Navalny. His death was confirmed by his family the next day. His body has since been returned to his mother and a funeral, with a heightened police presence, took place on 1 March. The circumstances behind his death remain unclear; the UK Government continues to closely monitor and seek to verify reporting.

The Foreign Secretary has written to Yulia Navalnaya expressing his condolences. On 21 February, the UK was the first nation to introduce sanctions directly in response to Mr Navalny's death. We sanctioned six individuals heading up the penal colony where Alexei Navalny died.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 12/03/2024 16:46:20 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
