Alexie Navalny

Indeed. Let's shout his name loud and proud . Putin might lock him up, but he is not out of sight.

Alexei Navalny

I know I am being picky but could we at least do him the courtesy of getting his name right-*Alexei Navalny*

I’m sorry NanKate, I hadn’t seen your post earlier and want to add my support to keeping the name Alexie Navalny in the public eye. A very brave man, a very brave family.

Me too.. what an amazing courageous man.. Putin is pure evil..

Why, how can this happen again
Because nobody wanted to upset him with all his gas and oil.
And the west was too bloody lazy to sort out our/their energy needs

Now they are trying to sort out energy, home grown agitators and eco terrorists are doing their utmost to stop it. West can't win really.

Another 19 years in prison for Alexie how dreadful for the poor man and his family. His parents may never be able to see him again.

Putin is as bad as Hitler. I hope he rots in Hell.

Not the truth, lixy

The 'hearing' for his alleged terrorism charges is set for June 6th. I wonder if we will get to hear anything about it?

Did you see the news about the Ukrainian children, some just tiny tots, who were saved taken by the Russian troops to camps in Russia. They were to be "re-educated" and adopted by Russian families.

Some of the Ukrainian mothers have been able to travel by train to go and rescue them, but very few have returned.

According to the Ukrainian government, 16,226 children have been deported to Russia, of whom 10,513 have been located, and more than 300 have returned. Some fear the numbers of missing could be an underestimate.

Unaccompanied children, some whose parents were killed during the siege of Mariupol, have disappeared into a Kremlin-sanctioned system now under investigation by the international criminal court.

What is happening is shocking.
One day we will look back on this and ask Why? How can this happen again?

Everyone who says anything against Putin and his murderous regime is vulnerable.

This family is beyond brave.
It is impossible to see what is happening through western eyes and not feel afraid for Navalny.

Similar to what's happening to the disabled in the UK really, after care charges a lot of the most vulnerable are not being left with enough money to live on or pay their bills.

Poor man, he is very brave ...

I read that too NanKate and something about a May beetle as well. I didn’t know his parents were not allowed to visit. How absolutely dreadful!

Thank you Sparklefizz and Greenfinch for your support.

Navalny stood up to Putin, madness or braveness, I don’t know. His parents are about our age and have been refused visiting rights. Can you imagine that? His wife and daughter do all they can to keep him in the news. What worries me is that when that tyrant Putin is removed, he is likely to be followed by another tyrant.

Navalny is one of many who have been wrongly imprisoned. All I can do is keep him in the forefront of Gransnet. His plight has really saddened me.

I read somewhere this week that he has asked the authorities for I think it was a kangaroo for his birthday, or something, similar to keep him company in his solitary confinement! He still has a sense of humour.

The same age as my younger son NanKate. In the prime of life and so sad. He and his family must be in total despair. Thank you for reminding us about this desperate situation.

NanKate I feel so sorry for this poor man and his family. People who disagree with Putin seem to fall out of windows or have sudden strokes.... it really is like something out of a James Bond film.

Your post has made me determined to learn more, and I'll look at the links on this thread. Thank you for drawing our attention to his plight. The courage of this man - and others in similar situations - is unbelievable.

It’s Alexie Navalny’s 47th birthday today. He is STILL in solitary confinement, all because of Putin’s hatred of AN’s bid for a democratic Russia.

I hope I see his release in my lifetime, but I doubt it.

His poor family must be in despair.

I’m not an expert Callistemon21 and don’t know what the UN Security Council are doing. What I do know is that he won the European Parliament Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought in 2021.

In 2020 he was poisoned with the nerve agent Novichok. A documentary was made about it and it gained an Oscar this year.

Putin says he can’t do anything, it is the responsibility of the Prison. He never takes responsibility for anything, it is always some else’s fault.

The reason I am doing all I can to raise awareness of AN is that he could be my son and I would be eternally grateful to anyone who would support my son in similar circumstances.

Thank you * NanKate*

Russia is still a member of the UN Security Council and in fact took its turn at presidency this year.

What, if anything, are they doing about Alexei Navalny?
Or, indeed, what is any organisation or government doing?
Do you know?

Here’s a photo of his brother inside the replica cell.

Thank you silverlinig.

I read that in Germany his supporters have erected a cell just like the one AN is incarcerated in, outside the Russian Embassy. 🎾

Let’s get the ball rolling and try and make this thread continue for as long as possible.

It’s a brave man who speaks out against Putin as it was in Germany against Hitler. Dictators brook no dissent
and I add my support to these courageous people.

Thanks for all the support 👍 The more Alexie’s plight is put ‘out there’ the less chance he is forgotten, as he is mentally tortured by Putin and his cruel followers.
