The Council of the European Union had called for the independent review, saying Russia “must allow an independent and transparent international investigation."

Kremlin officials rejected on Tuesday a call for an independent postmortem examination on the remains of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

The Council of the European Union had on Monday called for the independent review, saying Russia “must allow an independent and transparent international investigation into circumstances of his sudden death.”

“Mr Navalny’s unexpected and shocking death is yet another sign of the accelerating and systematic repression in Russia,” the council said in a statement.

    Who though? Americans don’t like it, but that’s to be expected.

    Lula says we should wait until an autopsy happens, but the Kremlin won’t allow independent investigation as per the article.

    People who protest in Russia get punished.

    The Global South will basically ignore it because it’s politically useful or use a tu quoque about Israel.

    China really won’t care because it’s internal.

      I’m talking about Russians, how is that not clear from the context? You can only crack down on a population so much before they get sick of your shit.

        OP addressed that by saying Russians are punished for speaking out. Anything short of a full country revolt will result in dead citizens. Small showings will just get literally squashed.
