Vladimir Putin Flaunts Immunity Over Alexei Navalny s Demise
On 4/22/21 at 6:49 AM EDT
Alexei Navalny Russia s most famous anti-corruption and pro-democracy campaigner remains languishing in a penal colony east of Moscow, confined to the prison s hospital as his health deteriorates amid an ongoing hunger strike.
International media coverage, sanctions and mass protests have failed to puncture the Kremlin s public indifference to the health of one of its most prominent critics.
One doctor warned that Navalny could die at any moment. But outside those prison walls, Moscow is still cracking down on his allies as they try to arrange fresh rallies. Some Navalny staff have gone into hiding, while others have been detained. Top aide Lyubov Sobol, for example, was dragged from a taxi and arrested on Wednesday.
