Jailed Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny is dead, the prison service of the Yamalo-Nenets region where he had been serving his sentence, has said. Mr Navalny, an outspoken critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has been in Russian jail since 2021 on charges that are widely viewed as politically motivated. Kira Yarmysh, Navalny's spokesperson, said his team had yet to receive confirmation of the death but his lawyer was now travelling to Siberia
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russian's penitentiary service was making all checks regarding Navalny's death but had no information about the matter. In August, Navalny was found guilty of founding and funding an extremist organisation, which he denies, and was given an extra 19 years to his existing sentence. He had already been sentenced to nine years for parole violations, fraud and contempt of court.

EU holds Russian regime responsible for Navalny's death, says Michel
European Council President Charles Michel has said the bloc considers the Russian regime to bear "sole responsibility" for Navalny's "tragic death".
In a post on X, Michel said Navalny "fought for the values of freedom and democracy" and made the "ultimate sacrifice" for his ideals.
"I extend my deepest condolences to his family. And to those who fight for democracy around the world in the darkest conditions. Fighters die. But the fight for freedom never ends," Michel added.

A sad day for Russians and the right to freedom of speech.

Putin finally got his wish.

Ireland comes to mind. Who decides what constitutes hate speech?

Yes, Leo Varadker is murdering opposition politicians and activists in prison. This is very much like Ireland.

Tbf, was half expecting you to come along and ask whether Navalny had had the COVID jab, although Still's Caranae still might.

Putin continues to kill anyone he likes with impunity yet despite some initial rage, the world looks on. What is happening doesn’t fit the political agenda of the blinkered types whose radar is only tuned to what they consider to be fashionable causes.

How many contributions have the usual suspects on here made to the Ukraine/ Russia watch thread with condemnations of Putin and the Russian regime? They follow the lunatic Corbyn mentality of “We should not rush to condemn” whilst continuing with just that in their own anti-semitic way on Israel, wrapped up in ‘anti-zionist’ tropes.

Navalny is the last of the anti-Putin martyrs as those brave enough to stand up know that ultimately, the west does not care about their suffering. Meanwhile, the inexecrable Hamas and Hezbollah fanatics are the darlings of the socialist left.


Go figure.

Dreadful blatant murder of political opponent.
But my sympathy falls short since Navalny also believed that Ukraine had no right to exist

Navalny was trained by the CIA, and was a Western agent designed to help get rid of Putin.
Plenty on this on the internet

And the article before or after most of these said either Covid was a bug planted by Microsoft or Lady Di was murdered by British intelligence....

Blimey!
Read this several times and still it feels like a weird rant.
And after even a few more attempts at trying to 'make sense' of this posting it seems that his biggest hate is Hamas and Hezbollah, followed by lurid fantasies about Corbyn.
WTF?

Really? So he happily 'put his family and his life on a plate' as sacrifices to please the CIA?

I for one am quite alarmed to read about Putin's real objectives, namely to undermine regions that gained individual nationhood since the collapse of the Soviet Union. He never accepted that 'loss' and hates it. His threat to Finland now, also threats to Latvia, Estonia, Poland and Lithuania show what he really is about. Putin is the real danger to Europe right now.

Maybe if it was written in crayon you might have some comprehension.

It is a pity world events, and the hypocrisy present here, are too difficult for you to follow.

I'm a bit puzzled that you label this as a 'weird rant', and that you are unable to 'make sense' of it. lt all sounds quite reasonable and straight forward to me.

I saw the brave souls on tv news who dared to lay flowers in his memory in Russia and some brave young women who were interviewed who dared to voice their opinions about the death of Alexei Navalny and life in Putins Russia. Wonder if they will be taken to court for saying what they think, how dreadful.

Those brave souls were all CIA moles, apparently.

So how did they actually set that up then? Did the driver deliberately crash the car in that tunnel or more likely, I suppose, you would say that they tampered with the brakes? Or what about if they just got Henri Paul pissed?

Putin is definitely behind this. The man is a monster.
