Navalny's body given to his mother: Navalny spokesperson

13 Sept 21:40 Key points summarised by AI

Russian authorities released Alexei Navalny's body to his mother, Lyudmila Navalnaya, over a week after his death in an Arctic prison colony.
The handover followed initial refusal by authorities, who allegedly threatened to bury Navalny on prison grounds if his mother did not agree to a 'secret' funeral.
Navalny's team, who had filed a lawsuit to obtain the body, expressed concerns that the Kremlin aims to prevent a public funeral, fearing it could become a show of opposition support.
Funeral plans remain uncertain, with his spokesperson indicating they do not know if authorities will interfere with the family's wishes for a public ceremony.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
