Yulia Navalnaya accuses Putin of killing her husband Alexei Navalny, vows to continue his work, sparking international outrage.
Alexei Navalny's widow on Monday accused President Vladimir Putin of killing her husband and vowed to continue his life's work following his death last week in a Russian Arctic prison.
Yulia Navalnaya spoke as the Kremlin said it had no details about Navalny's death, while his mother Lyudmila was denied access to his body for a third day.
"Vladimir Putin killed my husband Alexei Navalny," Navalnaya said on Navalny's YouTube channel.
"Alexei died in a prison colony after three years of torment and torture," she said.
Her address came shortly before she met EU foreign ministers in Brussels.
"I will continue the work of Alexei Navalny. I will continue to fight for the freedom of our country," Navalnaya said. "And I call on you to stand by me."
"Putin took from me the most valuable thing that I had, the closest and most loved person. But Putin also took Navalny from you," the 47-year-old said.
