1. I do hope #Navalnyj survives
I do hope he won't suffer permanent damages, because I do support #dissidents
I do hope it will be possible to establish an independent investigation on what really happened

2. if is confirmed beyond any doubt that #Navalnyj was poisoned, it will be important to establish whether the poison was a common one or rather a toxic substance only available to state actors (such as #polonium, for example)

3. if it is confirmed beyond any doubt #Navalnyj was poisoned,and the poison was a toxic substance only available to state actors, it's very likely the #Kremlin is behind such poisoning, considering how unlikely foreign operatives operating on the Russian soil

4. I go very public on the #Navalnyj case as I go very public on other #dissidents' cases, because as a sincere supporter of democracy and human rights, I think only those who speak out for all #dissidents, fighting #regimes and #cryptoregimes, are credible

5. as a consequence, I do NOT find credible those who speak out for #Navalnyj,BUT do NOT speak out for @xychelsea who was tortured,held in solitary confinement,stripped naked,stripped her glass,with legs spread and genitals displayed, in full view of guards

6. I do NOT find credible those who speak out for #Navalnyj, but do NOT for the @wikileaks founder,Julian #Assange,who,after revealing #US war crimes and tortures, has never known freedom again. He is STILL in a high-security prison, risking death from COVID, and a life in prison
