“It’s clear to the naked eye that this was filmed with a hidden camera. It was installed in the prison, in the room designated for meetings with lawyers. It records every such meeting and captures the sound. These videos that I’m showing you now should not exist at all. Meetings between a defendant and their lawyer are protected by attorney-client privilege,” said Navalny’s widow, Yulia Navalnaya.

According to her, the videos were sent to Navalny’s associates after they announced a monetary reward for any information about his death in prison.
