Alexei Navalny appears to have been murdered in prison by “someone”
Was it Donald Trump’s best friend, role model, informal banker, and videographer?
Who can say?
Aleksei A. Navalny, the most outspoken domestic critic of President Vladimir V. Putin, has died in prison, Russian state media said on Friday.
Mr. Navalny’s death was reported by Russia’s Federal Penitentiary Service, according to Russian state media. In a statement carried by Russia’s RIA Novosti news agency, the penitentiary service said that Mr. Navalny, 47, lost consciousness on Friday taking a walk in the Arctic prison where he was moved late last year.
RIP to a man whose courageousness in the face of tyranny is difficult to even imagine, and who should be a role model for every lawyer everywhere.
