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 UK has condemned the death of Alexei Navalny and called for the Russian authorities responsible to be held to account. 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>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4210", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-03-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-03-12T16:46:20.427Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-02-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Alexei Navalny and Yulia Navalnaya"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government what reports they have received concerning the circumstances of the death of Alexei Navalny in prison on 16 February; and whether they have been in contact with his widow, Yulia Navalnaya, since then.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/259", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for The Marquess of Lothian"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "The Marquess of Lothian"} ], "uin" : "HL2709"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1523524", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1523524/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
