Alexei Navalny's lawyers are arrested

The official version spread by the propaganda is that his lawyers did not only what lawyers should do, but also helped him pass letters from the jail to the outside world and thus control his "terrorist" organization (Anti-Corruption Foundation). This counts as complicity and direct participation in the deeds of a "terrorist" organization.

Putin had the lawyers of his primary opposition arrested, what a dictator.

We're lucky to live in the west where that kind of thing doesn't happen.

I have a huge respect for Navalny.

They tried to murder him and after spending time in a German hospital he decided to go back knowing that they'll imprison him or try to kill him again.

I'm surprised he was able to make such statements for this long.

I genuinely wonder why his captors even continue to let him live, when it seems like any post-2022 civil protest in Russia can and will be brutally repressed.
