The body of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been
handed over to his mother.
An aide says his mother received the body today,
ending a nine day standoff with the Russian government.
The Kremlin initially refused to turn over Navalny's body after
he was found dead in a remote Arctic prison.
Russian leaders reportedly threatened to bury Navalny there unless his
mother agreed to a private burial will.
She refused. Funeral plans are not yet clear.
