Vladimir Putin rival and Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny dies in prison
The Mirror ^ | February 16, 2024 | Liam Buckler

Vladimir Putin's fierce rival and critic Alexei Navalny has died, according to the prison service.

The Russian opposition leader, who was the most prominent and persistent domestic foe of President Vladimir Putin, had been serving a 19-year sentence on an extremism conviction. He had been incarcerated in central Russia’s Vladimir region, 140 miles east of Moscow.

Navalny has been behind bars in Russia since January 2021, when he returned to Moscow after recuperating in Germany from nerve agent poisoning that he blamed on the Kremlin. Before his arrest, he campaigned against official corruption and organized major anti-Kremlin protests.

wow you’re shocked that Russia doesn’t run like the USA or France. Maybe you should to your look at your own faults first before you go looking at other countries faults.

Well that does it. If Blinken likes him, we know he was just another progressive commieRAT.

May he RIP

I just used the Google machine to learn that app. 12 Americans die in prison every day. One was J6 prisoner last year. He was awaiting trial for nearly 2 years.

The Zeepers simply don't care.

Gee, I dunno - seems like for all the crowing on FR about how great Russia is, it sure has a lot to be desired in basic freedoms. For instance, in this report, Russia scored 5.81/5.48/6.28 on a 2023 human freedom/personal freedom/economic freedom index, while France scored 7.86/8.18/7.4 on the same index, and the U.S. was 8.39/8.66/8.14. Heck, even Ukraine scored generally better than Russia at 6.72/6.55/6.17.

Face it, Russia is crap hole run by a murderous dictator, and we have every right to call it such.

<<>>

So you're saying we at Free Republic don't care about a January 6th political prisoner who died in jail?

That's pretty low

At least for his high-profile prisoners, Stalin would go through the motions of a show trial and make believe that the accused was a traitor or at least a criminal. Putin doesn’t even bother with a trial most of the time. He just kills his enemies like the KGB gutter thug he is.

There will be shrieking and wailing by Freepers and the MSM over this, as if this is something new in the world in nations governed by dictators. I just read a post where a lobomotized Freeper slashed into Tucker Carlson for a paroxysm of virtue signaling.

Meanwhile -—

Biden gets a pass for inviting millions of military aged invaders into the country as just one of his acts in systematically, absolutely, utterly destroying the United States.

And he is not even supposed to be a dictator and was supposedly elected to office.

…..as hundreds of J6 are locked up, more than a few died, in America….all done in full view with a Kangaroo court, and support of our MSM…think about that.

That’s how desperate he is to try to defend Putin’s crimes. He is the king of false accusations here. Low doesn’t begin to describe what he and his cronies say.
