From Munich where she attended the security conference, Alexeï Navalny’s wife pointed out Vladimir Putin’s responsibility in the death of the Russian opponent.
These are the last images of Alexei Navalny alive. In a video, which dates from Thursday February 15, 2024, the Russian opponent appeared emaciated during a videoconference hearing in front of a court, from the penal colony where he was detained, in a remote region of the Arctic.
From Germany, his wife Yulia Navalnaya pointed out the responsibility of Vladimir Putin.
“I want to appeal to the entire international community, to everyone in this room, to the entire world, to unite and defeat this evil, to defeat the horrible regime that currently exists in Russia. The regime and Vladimir Putin must take personal responsibility for all the terrible things they have done to my country, to our country, to Russia, in recent years” she said.
According to the Federal Prison Service, the opponent felt unwell after a walk on Friday and lost consciousness. Despite the arrival of an ambulance, he could not be revived.
Russian authorities said the circumstances of the opponent’s death were being investigated. But since the announcement of his death, international condemnations against the Kremlin have increased.
Because over the years, Alexeï Navalny had become a central figure in the Russian opposition and the fight against corruption. Arrested and incarcerated several times, he even survived a poisoning attempt in 2020. With his death, the Russian opposition loses its main symbol.
