The author of the article is Sarah Fortinsky and she has a clear political bias. She uses language that dehumanizes Alexei Navalny by referring to him as 'the late Russian opposition leader' instead of simply using his name. The author also quotes Lyudmila Navalnaya, who is clearly upset about her son's death and wants to bury him with dignity, but the author does not provide any context or background information on Alexei Navalny or why he was in prison. This lack of context could be seen as an attempt to dehumanize Alexei Navalny further by presenting him solely as a victim rather than someone who had political beliefs and actions that led to his imprisonment. Additionally, the author uses language such as 'chemical examination' which implies that there is something sinister about it, without providing any evidence or context for this claim.
