The Spanish government has summoned Russia’s ambassador to Spain for an explanation following the death in prison of dissident Alexei Navalny, diplomatic sources told AFP today.
These sources at the Foreign Ministry did not specify when the Russian ambassador to Madrid, Yuriy Klimenko, was summoned.
Last Friday, Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albarez said his country “demands that the circumstances” of Alexei Navalny’s death be clarified.
The Russian ambassador in Madrid was summoned to the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs a few hours after similar decisions had been taken by the governments of Sweden and Germany.
The British Foreign Office had last Friday evening summoned the diplomats of the Russian embassy to tell them that it considers the authorities in Moscow “fully responsible” for the death of the number one critic of the Kremlin.
The death of Navalny, 47, in a remote Arctic prison where he was serving a 19-year sentence after surviving a 2020 poisoning he blamed on the Kremlin, was announced last Friday. The Russian opposition leader died after three years in prison.
