The mother of Alexei Navalny has been seen leaving the penal colony in Kharp, where he died.
Lyudmila Navalnaya hung her head as she was led by two people with her.
No official cause of death for Mr Navalny has been released, however, world leaders have immediately pointed the finger at Vladimir Putin.
