Russian Court Dismisses Navalny's Mother's Lawsuit Over Medical Care

The lawsuit, which alleged inadequate medical treatment for the late Alexei Navalny in prison, was rejected on the grounds that only Navalny himself could be the plaintiff.

A Russian court has rejected a lawsuit filed by Lyudmila Navalnaya, Alexei Navalny's mother, claiming improper medical care for her son in prison.
Alexei Navalny, a prominent critic of President Vladimir Putin, died last month in an Arctic penal colony.
The court's decision was based on the assertion that only Navalny himself could file such a claim, a point criticized by his allies.
Navalny's widow claims the case dismissal was to avoid airing evidence of her husband's death, which she attributes to orders from Putin.
Russia denies allegations of murdering Navalny, with Putin acknowledging his death as a 'sad event' after years of refusing to mention him by name.
