Alexei Navalny case

Jermey isn't bad. He gets a lot of good evidence of stuff. I just agree with others he just follows trends not because he believes in them, but it earn him good money.

But I do like the reports.

From the Beeb- Russia will face 'consequences' if Navalny dies - US

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-56794744

BBC wrote:The US has warned Russia there will be "consequences" if the opposition activist Alexei Navalny dies in jail.

The UK, France, Germany and the European Union have also expressed their concern over his treatment.

Navalny's doctors say he "will die within the next few days" if not given urgent medical attention for acute back pain and leg numbness.

Russia's ambassador to the UK has said that Navalny is attention seeking and "will not be allowed to die in prison".

A prominent critic of President Vladimir Putin, Navalny, 44, was jailed in February for old embezzlement charges, which he claims are politically motivated.

He started a hunger strike on 31 March in protest at not being able to see his own medical team, and his doctors say recent blood test results indicate he could suffer kidney failure and go into cardiac arrest at any moment.

Human rights campaigners say the jail where Alexei Navalny is being held is known for its especially harsh conditions
On Sunday, a number of countries joined the international protest against Navalny's treatment inside the Russian jail in the town of Pokrov, about 100 km (62 miles) east of Moscow.

US national security adviser Jake Sullivan told CNN there would be "consequences if Mr Navalny dies" and Russia would be "held accountable by the international community", while President Joe Biden said his medical treatment was "totally unfair and totally inappropriate".

The US is already embroiled in a diplomatic row with Russia over the near-fatal poisoning of Navalny last year, with the chemical warfare agent Novichock.

The Kremlin denies Navalny's claims that President Vladimir Putin ordered the attack. But US intelligence officials concluded that the Moscow government was behind the poisoning, prompting the Biden administration to impose sanctions on senior Russian officials.

Now Moscow is imposing its own measures in retaliation.

EU leaders are expected to discuss the situation on Monday, and Josep Borrell, the bloc's top diplomat, said the EU was "deeply concerned" and called for prison authorities to grant access to Navalny's medical team immediately.

The UK's Foreign Office said in a statement: "Mr Navalny must be given immediate access to independent medical care. We reiterate our call for his immediate release from his politically motivated imprisonment."

Navalny's 20-year-old daughter, Daria Navalnaya, who is currently studying in California, wrote "allow a doctor to see my dad" on Twitter.

Navalny's wife Yulia said he had lost 9kg (19 lbs) since starting his hunger strike, according to AP.

Navalny's supporters in Russia are organising a nationwide protest on Wednesday, saying "there are circumstances in which you need to act quickly, otherwise the irreparable will happen".

On Friday, four doctors wrote to prison officials to request permission to see Navalny urgently, saying his potassium had reached "critical levels".

Dr Alexander Polupan, who treated Navalny after he was poisoned with Novichock last year, said his blood test results were an "absolute indication" that he needed urgent medical care or he would "die within the next [few] days".

On Sunday, his personal physician, Anastasia Vasilyeva, who has previously been arrested for protesting outside Navalny's jail, tweeted that she and the three doctors had "stood for two hours and begged" to be let into the jail, but they were refused entry.

Also joining the call for action are more than 70 well known writers, artists and academics, who have have signed a letter calling on President Putin to ensure Navalny receives adequate medical care.

The letter was published in The Economist and France's Le Monde newspaper, and included the signatures of Hollywood actors Jude Law, Ralph Fiennes and Benedict Cumberbatch, Harry Potter author JK Rowling and director Ken Burns.

In an interview with the BBC's Andrew Marr recorded on Friday but aired on Sunday, Russia's ambassador to the UK, Andrei Kelin, said that Navalny was not in danger.

"Of course he will not be allowed to die in prison, but I can say that Mr Navalny behaves like a hooligan absolutely in trying to violate every rule that has been established," he said, adding that activist was attempting "to attract attention".

US can earn of anything but as usual there isn't anything they can do.  They love to bark and do not bite.

Also, by using such words, it just furthers prove Navalny's crime of being a US Patsy.

I got to say though, I think the US is giving Russia a fantastic laugh.

What Russia should do is sit and wait out the next few days and if Navalny survives, bring in the so called doctors and have their medical licenses removed (if they even got any).

Navalny is not worth any of this trouble. They should have denied him entry into Russia after he came back from Germany. Just don't let him in. He would have to go through the refugee process in Germany. That's not Russia's problem. Ban him from the CIS. He can have freedum outside of Russia.

A bit rich the BBC talking about the health of political prisoners... how is Assange by the way?

Acute backpain and leg numbness.... are they symptoms of Novachok?

Maybe Russia should play the same game and fake a package from the US government and put novachok in it... the question is.... should they intercept it before he opens it and it kills him or after?

I know why he is in bad shape. When was the last time he had a nose full of white powder?

Yup, cold turkey on all the substances he was taking, plus a hunger strike, would have an effect on anyone.

Apparently his is now in the prison hospital on a vitamin diet!

I think it was Peskov who yesterday said something like "he is held under better conditions than Jeffrey Epstein was" so piss of America.

Plus being a diabetic not eating...

Navalny is more fanatical than I thought. Previously I thought that he was in it for personal benefit only. But the fact that he came back to Russia and went to prison at least shows that he is no coward. He is a traitor naturally, but apparently he is also prepared to make personal sacrifices to reach his goals (whatever they are).

Good, cuz this seditious shit is really gonna cost him dearly...

No, I think they are handling this twisted little comprador in the correct way. Make an example of this shitheaded fucker... let the other wanna-be traitorous scum know what will happen to them if they play stupid games.

Once he has done his stint, he should have his citizenry cancelled and then deported. If the sausage-eaters want him, they can have him

No, he literally thought he was not gonna get prison sentence because he sniffed too many of his own farts to not realize he is not only unpopular, but that he isn't above the law.

He figured he was gonna be out in short time and all was good. Then the case happened while he was there and he became off the hinge. Started spewing absolute nonsense, probably to try and get some kind of insanity plea.

Guy is just a retard. Neither brave or smart.

Does Russian Law allow to force feed him?

...only if its another inmates excrement. It's better than he deserves.

Or he could've experienced a paroxysm of pragmatism when he realized he's rapidly reaching his shelf-life as a Lenin larper and would've been forced into early retirement from life as a martyr by his bioluminescent handlers sooner than he would have liked. He still wants to be president though, so he wouldn't do anything that would jeopardize the continuing support of his western patrons. Checking himself in at a Russian prison appears to be a good middle ground between keeping himself away from his handlers, while maintaining their support for him.

He thought he would arrive in Russia covered in a nice safe blanket of expendable supporters... but that didn't work did it...

Now he is having withdrawal symptoms and wanting some opiates to deal with the "pain".

Yeah, right...

Does Russian Law allow to force feed him?

Normal procedure in most countries... in most countries suicide is illegal, so they would have to take steps to prevent it.

They can just give him nutrient injections

That's how that Ukro artillery spotter woman spent her hunger strike. She was striking for over a hundred days but ended up with more weight than before. Because she gave her consent for such injections

Navalny can elect to go down the same route, or he can just be sedated and injected

Lenin Larper* is full of shit, plain and simple

I already said that that prison is summer camp and I mean it

If my school got the offer for hosting school trip and we were sent the photo of that​ dormitory and dining hall without telling us that it was supposed to be a prison we would have booked the full package no problem

Seriously, when did Russian joints become so fancy?

It's a European thing. Convicts get better treatment than victims. It's a problem here as well.

It actually pisses society off even more too.

Lost pace: results of protests in support of Navalny

On April 21, protests were held in major cities of Russia in support of opposition leader Alexei Navalny. The number of participants in the rallies turned out to be significantly lower than similar actions that took place in January. "Topical Comments" tells about the main results of the action by Navalny's team.

Moscow and St. Petersburg

The law enforcement bodies of the capital regions blocked the places declared for the rallies, since the actions were not coordinated with the authorities. For this reason, Navalny's comrades-in-arms tried to organize the procession, coordinating the actions of the protesters through telegram channels and a stream led by Maria Pevchikh and Leonid Volkov. At the same time, the protesters moved in different directions, Navalny's team was unable to plan common actions. Because of this, it is rather difficult to estimate the number of participants in the rallies. The White Counter organization also did not count.

The opposition does not agree that the number of participants in the rallies was noticeably lower than at the January protests.

It is noteworthy that in the frames that were published in the channels of Navalny's team, it is noticeable that fewer people came out in the regions.

Obviously, it was not possible to reach the figure of 466 thousand protesters declared on the website of the rally.

Sadly NZ is the same... we spend more money on convicted criminals than we spend on our elderly... it is criminal...
