Elon Musk’s X platform (formerly Twitter) has suspended the account of Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, it emerged today.
“Account suspended,” says a notice on your account, with a note underneath that says “X suspends accounts that violate X Rules.”
It was not immediately clear what rules had been violated.
Her account on the social media platform, owned by Elon Musk, was created on February 19 to share a video of her speaking on camera.
In the video, she accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of killing her husband.
Alexei Navalny, 47, fell unconscious and died suddenly on Friday after a walk through the ‘Polar Wolf’ penal colony above the Arctic Circle, where he was serving a three-decade sentence, the prison service said.
The West and Navalny’s supporters say Putin is responsible for Navalny’s death.
The Kremlin has denied involvement and said Western claims that Putin was responsible were unacceptable.
