Yes thank you for raising this brave man's terrible plight. The one thing that Putin and his henchmen don't like is the oxygen of publicity being given to their crimes. Let's publish it loud and proud.

Yes, and have become incapacitated with fear.

Yes.

Don't feel bad for your thought, NanKate
Think of the thousands who might have been saved and may be saved.

Thank you NanKate for starting this thread about Alexei Navalny's plight.

A brave man and we can only hope that thousands of right-minded Russians might stand up and fight for what is right.
Sadly, so many have been brainwashed by Putin's propaganda.

Thanks Greenfinch good to hear from you.

Thanks for the support. 👍

His parents as well as his family must be so upset knowing he is being starved and it has been said slowly poisoned, not enough to kill him but enough make him ill. He has lost 2 or 3 stone whilst being incarcerated.

It’s a pity that the drone that was sent to kill Putin missed. I feel bad saying this but I mean it.

Thanks NanKate for bringing him to our attention. I knew of him of course but felt I needed to read a bit more. What a role model to put his principles and convictions above his own personal safety and comfort. I was thinking that he was almost a saint really and then I read that ,although formerly an atheist, he is now a member of the Russian Orthodox Church. I hope his faith gives him some comfort and also some comfort to his wife and two children.

Hope not home !

Thank you both for your comments. I want to do everything I can ‘in my small way’ to keep the name of Alexis N in the public eye.

He is in one tiny cell just left there to rot, it is inhuman and anytime I feel like moaning I think we’ll at least I am well nourished and can contact my family at any time. I just home he is released in my lifetime, but I doubt it.

Putin is beyond evil.

It's hard to believe how bad things are in Russia. Putin is like the bad guy in every James Bond film and what's happening to Navalny (and others) is just so wrong. The Russian moral compass is badly askew.

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.

This brave man is being slowly poisoned ‘it is reported’ in an inhuman cell, with little lighting, for standing up to that brute Putin. I know there is nothing we can do to save him but I feel anyone who is able to should in some way advertise his plight.

His parents who were about to visit him recently were stopped at the last minute and his wife and daughter haven’t been allowed to visit either.

Putin’s and his henchmen say it is nothing to do with them, it’s up to the prison.

For anyone who is a believer please pray 🙏 for him and others please just keep him in your mind.

I just hope his suffering ends soon. 💐
