in a high—security penal colony. western governments and human rights groups universally condemned it but there is little they can do to help him. having already allegedly poisoned him with nerve agent, it seems the kremlin intend to silence him forever behind the highest walls in the country. his treatment during imprisonment has been grim: he's been subject to sleep deprivation, there have been long stretches of solitary confinement, he has even been forced to listen to vladimir putin's speeches repeatedly. and he has been hunger strike. the alexei navalny on our screens today is a pale shadow of the man that was arrested two years ago. in the last hour or so following his extended sentence,we heard extended sentence, we heard from navalny in a post on x, the app formerly known as twitter. he told his almost three million followers: "19 years in a maximum security penal colony. the number of years does not matter. i perfectly understand that, like many political prisoners, i am sitting on a life sentence. where life is measured by the term of my life or the term of life of this regime. the sentencing figure is not for me. it is for you. you, not me, are being frightened and deprived of the will to resist. you are being forced to surrender your country of russia without a fight to the gang of traitors, thieves, and scoundrels who have seized power. putin must not achieve his goal. do not lose the will to resist." we're joined now by bill browder, the founder and ceo of hermitage capital management, which was the largest foreign investor in russia until 2005. he is a leading campaigner to expose russian corruption and human rights abuses. your reaction to the sentencing in the tweet we just read out. it is the tweet we “ust read out. it is clear that — the tweet we just read out. it is clear that alexei _ the tweet we just read out. it 3 clear that alexei navalny is committed the greatest crime in russia to expose vladimir putin and resist them and stand up to putin. this is something that putin cannot stand anyone who is an effective exposure of corruption has to pay the most serious penalty in a 19 year sentence reflectively standing up year sentence reflectively standing up to putin says it all and how weak putin is that he has to put all these political opponents in prison. it's notjust alexei navalny, anybody who is at an effective stance against putin is sitting behind bars.— stance against putin is sitting behind bars. , ., , behind bars. the strength to be oisoned behind bars. the strength to be poisoned by _ behind bars. the strength to be poisoned by putting _ behind bars. the strength to be poisoned by putting it -

the bidens, the next day he gets indicted. - |any time there's new information, | the federal government just seems to have a two—tiered system. so yeah, you can raise that, - that someone raised the question — you know in america, _ you're entitled to raise a question. you're entitled to question i whether it was honest or not. that's the uniqueness i of the first amendment, that's the uniqueness of america. but you know what, you shouldn't be prosecuted for your thoughts. - and the difference here is, | when hillary clinton said it, nothing happened to her. when they said in georgia's election, nothing _ happened to them either. you know what, when the dnc said it? nothing happened to them either. so stop using government to go after people who politically- disagree with you. that's wrong, and that should stop now. - the thinking of many people inside and outside the united states is that if trump were to win the republican ticket next year, he would be such a poor candidate, so wrapped up in the various court cases thatjoe biden will romp home. but, going by the recent polling, these indictments appear to have only added to his lustre among party members and in the national
