UK sanctions Russian prison chiefs after Alexei Navalny's death

The UK has frozen the assets of six Russian prison bosses in charge of the Arctic penal colony where opposition leader Alexei Navalny died.
 
The sanctioned individuals will also be banned from travelling to the UK.
 
Western leaders say the blame for Mr. Navalny's death lies with the Russian authorities, including President Vladimir Putin.
 
The US has also announced it will be unveiling its own package of sanctions against Russia over Mr. Navalny's death and the ongoing war in Ukraine on Friday.
 
The British government has called for Mr. Navalny's body to be immediately released to his family and for a full and transparent investigation to take place.
