Russia's Federal Prison Service said in a statement that Alexei Navalny felt unwell after a walk on Friday and lost consciousness. It said an ambulance arrived to try to rehabilitate him, but he died.
Navalny's press secretary said they haven’t been informed of his death, and a lawyer was on the way to the prison.
A spokesperson for Vladimir Putin said the Russian president has been informed of Navalny’s death but the Kremlin has no further information at this point.
Navalny was a staunch critic of the Kremlin. He was arrested in 2021 when he returned to Russia after receiving medical treatment in Germany for what medical tests showed was a nerve agent poisoning.
