Russian state prosecutors have called for a 20-year prison sentence for Navalny in an even more restrictive “special regime colony”. Such prisons are normally reserved for Russia’s most dangerous criminals.

      Yeah, honestly not sure why he wasn’t found “suicided” having jumped from his apartment rooftop after shooting himself in the back of the head.

      Maybe they’re trying to turn him into an example for others to not have hope to win against Putin?

      Yeah, I saw his name in the headline and thought for sure it was because he’d finally died. Putin is probably scared that killing him at this point will turn him into a martyr and galvanize his base, especially with the disastrous war in Ukraine already help shift public opinion.
