1:58Now PlayingThe Russian media outlet Mediazona has analyzed what were publicly available webcam streams from near the prison that held Alexei Navalny, and concluded that a “midnight convoy of four vehicles” was likely transporting his body.
The footage, which Mediazona says was captured by publicly accessible traffic cameras around midnight on February 16-17, shows a convoy of vehicles crossing the ice road linking the towns of Labytnangi and Sakelhard.
According to Mediazona, an “unnamed Salekhard ambulance station worker” told the Novaya Gazeta that Navalny’s body was taken to a hospital in Labytnangi – half an hour’s drive from the village of Kharp, where the penal colony is located. “It was only on the evening of February 16, according to this source, that Navalny was brought to the morgue at the Salekhard District Clinical Hospital,” they said.
The present whereabouts of Navalnay’s remains are unknown, and Mediazona said the morgue in Salekhard was “now asserting it does not possess the body.” Storyful has not confirmed this.
Mediazona said they reviewed livecam footage from near the only land crossing between Labytnangi and Salekhard and found a Federal Penitentiary Service convoy traveling this route on the night of February 16-17, “most likely,” they said, “carrying the politician’s body.”
Footage from the livecam feed edited by Mediazona shows the convoy, led by a traffic patrol car, followed by an unmarked grey sedan, a penitentiary minibus and a final patrol car crossing the frozen River Ob.
Mediazona later provided more details about the vehicles seen, based on their license plates. See here. Among the vehicles, it said, was a minibus “equipped with a stretcher in a caged compartment, making [it] well-suited for body transport.”
In conclusion, Mediazona said that, in its view, “FSIN employees of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug transported Alexei Navalny’s body to Salekhard on the night before his mother, Lyudmila, and lawyers arrived to the Arctic village. We do not know where the politician’s body could have been taken after the crossing, but it is clear that it was intentionally hidden from relatives.”
A spokeswoman for Navalny said on February 19 that it would be at least two weeks before the body was released.
The spokeswoman, Kira Yarmysh, said the reason given by authorities was for the carrying out of “chemical tests”, which she called “a blatant lie and mockery.”
