Yulia Navalnya, the widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, took the stage at the Munich Security Conference on Friday to issue a message to those responsible for her husband’s death: “I want them to know that they will be punished.”
News broke that Navalny. a Russian lawyer and activist who vocally opposed the leadership of Russian President Vladimir Putin, died while imprisoned in Russia on Friday at age 47. The overwhelming belief across the international community is that Putin is responsible for Navalny’s death, and Navalnya appeared to agree. In a translation of her comments, she said:
I don’t know, should we believe the terrible news we get, the news we get only from the official media? Because for many years — and you know all this — we have been in this situation, we cannot believe Putin and his government, they are lying constantly.
But if it is the truth, I would like Putin and all his staff — everybody around him, his government, his friends — I want them to know that they will be punished for what they have done with our country, with my family and with my husband.
They will be brought to justice, and this day will come soon.
And [I] would like to call upon all the international community, all the people in the world, we should come together and we should fight against this evil. We should fight this horrific regime in Russia today. This regime and Vladimir Putin should be personally held responsible for all the atrocities they have committed in our country the last years.
Navalnya received a standing ovation following her comments.
In a statement, the prison service of the Yamalo-Nenets region where Navalny was held said he “felt unwell after a walk, almost immediately losing consciousness. The medical staff of the institution arrived immediately, and an ambulance team was called. All necessary resuscitation measures were carried out, which did not yield positive results. Doctors of the ambulance stated the death of the convict. The causes of death are being established.”
Her statement about the news media is much like ours...
Brave lady! All eyes will be on her- let’s pray she doesn’t have an accident or get sickened mysteriously as she investigates her husband’s death.
Just as we’ve seen with Epstein. The ruling class can do anything they want.
Putin will take care of her just like he did her husband.
Everyone should read about Navalny’s claims and complaints about election fraud in his Moscow Mayor’s race
- unauthorized mail-in ballots
- vote counting machines controlled by Putin’s United Party in areas dominated by United Party
- unsupervised counting of ballots
- law fare and legal harassment of his team, threats of disbarment against his lawyers
Its where the Democrats got their ideas.
I would stay the heck away from the “Russian Federation” if I was her.
We have OUR OWN POLITICAL PRISONERS -- from peaceful J6 protesters to pro-lifers facing 11 year prison sentences for acts of civil disobedience at abortion clinics.
Yet, we get three propaganda stories about this corrupt a-hole, who unquestionable was working with Deep State and Soros to try to undermine the Putin government and foment the same kind of coup that we pulled off in Ukraine.
BUMP
An American citizen and political dissident just died in captivity in a Ukrainian jail. America has hundreds of political prisoners rotting in prison, some have been beaten some have taken their own lives.
The war in Ukraine has taken the lives of hundreds of thousands people, a war arguably engineered by America and NATO.
Our current leader(Biden) is targeting his political rival(Trump) with life in prison and financial ruin.
So...who are the “good” guys here?
“So...who are the ‘good’ guys here?”
Welcome to What-Aboutism Friday.
A patriot hero returns to his homeland at grievous risk to his life and is murdered by the fascist regime....but my uncle was run over by a bus.
No, my point is that we don’t have the moral authority anymore to judge other countries for things that we ourselves are doing. It makes the moral criticisms meaningless and powerless and it begs the question if you really have a problem with the persecution and murder of political adversaries why not start here at home BEFORE criticizing another?
Believe me this is a huge problem for our government. The very thing that made America a dominant world power is that we were perceived as good, we were the good guys. And because of that goodness we had a superior quality of life for the average bloke and our present government is busy destroying the very key to our success in the name of “democracy” Sad times.
At our best we have always been a flawed nation. That in no way has restricted are ability to criticize foreign tyrants nor should it.
No, but it does. Too bad you can’t see that.
