Alexei Navalny has died

Such bravery.
Such a tragedy.
Perpetrated to scare fellow Russians into submission.

Murdered, without doubt.

I think this too.
Poor, poor man.
And his poor family left behind.

How terribly sad. RIP peace at last.

Such a brave man and his wife is speaking out too, I hope support is gathering to oust the vile Putin.
RIP Alexi Navalny

Murdered, without doubt.

He was seen yesterday smiling and looking healthy. A brave man who will not be forgotten. His poor family.

Vile regime. Tried poison, then 'prison' in Siberia. How long could anyone live, starved and exposed there? And Zelensky is going round the world with a begging bowl to expel Putin from Ukraine. P won't stop there!!!

I agree, the rest of the free world must support Ukraine in whatever way is needed to stop the march of Russian boots!

Sadly, any opposition to the existing regime is met with brutality.

His wife has spoken in Munich asking for the evil man, Putin, to be ousted.

So sad and shocked to hear the news. My thoughts are with his family. What a dreadful end to a very brave life.

This was murder, slow murder by torture.
He was repeatedly put in a punishment cell in a penal colony in the Arctic circle despite failing health.
He was deliberately driven to die.
The cowardice and evil of Putin is unmatched.

Bugger!!!!

He was one of the good guys, so very brave RIP💐

This, exactly.
One of the bright lights of hope has gone out. So very sad.

Poor brave, wonderful man.. sadly it was just a matter of time and it shows quite clearly how Russia regards the opinions of the West..

A true hero who stood up for what he believed in. RIP you very brave man. At peace now.

Appalling. Has the Russian government no shame? Are there no depths they won't plumb? Obviously not!!
RIP a man of principle.

Such a brave man will anyone dare take his place.
R.I.P

A huge loss to his family and to the world of free speech. Putin's hand is all over this.

This day we all hoped wouldn’t come. It is totally devastating.

We have another thread on GN about AN and a number of us have been searching for an address to send him a birthday card. We are too late for that sadly, but will continue to keep his name in the spotlight.

Rest in peace dear man. 💐

I will not put on here the words I want to say condemning Putin and his followers. All I will say is he and Hitler are EVIL men.

So sad to read this, a very brave and courageous man, the opponents of Putin, they all die in the end, it's the way of a tyrant.

RIP Alex

This.

Sad indeed, but not unexpected. Brave, principled, idealistic but rational too, he was more than aware of what might come. A hero of the free world.
Events, actions, behaviour stress that no opposition is possible in Putin’s universe.
RIP Alexei Navalny.

This has brought me to tears. Such bravery and such savage spite by Putin. I doubt very much this giant of a man died a natural death. May he RIP and I pray his fight wasn’t in vain

I concur - I too suspect this isn't what it seems.

😢

RIP
