Alexie Navalny

Thanks Nankate - I heard the news on the radio in the car yesterday evening and was pleased it was given such a high profile. As you say - laugh or cry. We are holding him and his family in our thoughts.

Just watched the video on Prime, it costs £3.49 but is well worth it and I hope the money finds its way to his helpers. It is similar to how this gov't is running the country, stopping protests, stopping dr's assessing disabled people and having ordinary people do it so the gov't can control the amount of people claiming it's all extra controls for the gov't as MadeInYorkshire says

this is an unbearably cruel situation.. even if his lawyers have seen him it will only be to stop the press criticising Russia. I bet this poor, brave man won't survive much longer..

Today’s News Christmas Day - Alexie Navalny has been located in a very harsh prison in Northern Russia. His lawyers have been searching for him and he has been visited today. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. His medication is being withheld and so I suppose they are hoping to murder him that way. It is beyond cruel.

Just thought I would let you great supporters know. Thank you. 🙏

Navalny’s family must be beside themselves with grief and worry. It is beyond terrible. He is in my prayers and thoughts.

So many evil men in positions of power around the world

Now unseen by his lawyers for 10 days. Still keeping him and his family in our thoughts.

I hear a Russian female politician has put her name forward to go up against Putin at the next elections. She must be ultra brave or mad. I fear her days are numbered. 🙁

I did catch a brief news item saying that he hasn't been seen for 5 days, since being moved from the prison. He and his family are very much in my thoughts.

Thank you for this NanKate.. the murderous regime which he has been so brave to criticise would like him forgotten. Let's keep him in the news as well as in our hearts and prayers.

Blinko

I’m not sure what the UN stands for any more. How can they allow Russia to remain a member, when Putin clearly is a dictator of the worst kind, a monster in fact. His treatment of Navalny and other brave dissenters is an abomination.

Me neither, Blinko

Thanks for the information NanKate.It is good to be reminded of the bravery and heartache of this poor man and his family.

So important to bump this thread especially at this time of the year NanKate; thank you for doing so.

I’m back reminding all who care about Alexie Navalny that he has been transferred from prison and no one knows where he has been moved to ! His lawyers waited for hours to see him only to be told he was no longer in that prison.

Murderous Putin is starting his drive to be re-elected and he doesn’t want Alexie to be making comments that get into the press.

I am thinking about his parents and wife and daughter who must be beside themselves with worry and grief.

I know my posting here will not help him personally, but I am determined to keep him and other prisoners wrongly imprisoned at the forefront of news of GN. Please join me.

I’m with you tickingbird.

No offence taken over my misspelling. As we all know there are far more important things to concern ourselves about, especially a looming WW3 or a nuclear bomb, or both.

I shall definitely keep him in my thoughts and prayers. A very brave man and I can’t begin to imagine his suffering. May Putin and his henchmen suffer the same before their end, which must surely come soon 🙏

Thinking of

ALEXEI NAVALNY

And his family.

(^UN not fit for purpose ^I agree with you Gillycat)

It must be so frightening living in Russia. As you say eazybee scared to face facts and having their beliefs destroyed or scared to say anything that goes against the regime.

Another 19 years that poor man and his family.

I know someone with a Russian in- law. living in the west but who keeps in touch with the parents. The father believes implicitly in everything Putin says, the mother believes the information from her child, to the extent that the parents are virtually living apart. He believes NATO is massing to attack and invade Russia, and that Navalny is a criminal. Any film of bombing is either a mock-up, or a strike against Nazi sympathisers, still greatly feared in Russia.We don't realise to what extent the state controls information in Russia, and that some inhabitants are scared of facing the facts, because all their beliefs will be destroyed.

What a brave man he is. I just wonder why nothing more is being done or said by the UN. Time for them to be disbanded and started again. How is it right to have a member state committing heinous war crimes yet still have voting rights. The UN is not fit for purpose any longer.
My main gripe is economic sanctions. There are many countries who have chosen to support Russia. To my mind the West should cease trading with them and look very carefully at what humanitarian aid is going to them. It’s entirely worrying that Russia is still committing human rights crimes unabated.
As others have said, let’s all hope and pray that Mr Navalny stays well.

Not nit picking Foxy, you are right, the man deserves to have his very masculine name spelt correctly. My apologies too.

NanKate

Absolutely Chocolate.

Thanks folks for joining me on this small thread.

His barbaric treatment has really resonated with me. He is about my son’s age and perhaps that is why I feel such a connection.

Apologies for spelling his name incorrectly. My late father-in-law always spelt my name with a C not a K which upset me.

My apologies for nit-picking NanKate
I just felt “Alexie” looked so feminine whereas Alexei is of course the Russian form of “Alexander”

My heart sank when I heard that he'd been sentenced to another 19 years in prison.

Yes, Putin's name will go down in history as one of the most evil.
