Ahead of Navalny's hearing today Putin's thugs have lined up paddy wagons in case of protests. Guess arresting almost 5,800 yesterday wasn't enough. Putin's shitty repressive system can't even handle processing all the arrests.
Arrests have already started ahead of Navalny's hearing which starts in 30 minutes
More arrests by Putin's thugs. Neab detainees who haven't been processed yet (hard to process 5,800 in a day) haven't eaten for over 40 hours
Near*
Navalny has arrived at court for the sham hearing
Another journalist detained by the court
And another journalist detained. So many journalists detained over the last few days for simply covering events.
Navalny's sham hearing is about to begin
Mass arrests begin outside of court. So infuriating because these people are getting arrested for no reason except Putin's cowardice
Journalists again are warned against taking photos or videos. Putin's regime is so transparent that journalists get arrested for attempting to report facts or in this case visually show what is happening on the ground
The judge brought up the issue of journalists to which Navalny responds

“We moved the trial here for a reason, since many wanted to get in, since there is a press here, I am in favor, it will not bother anyone”
Some pictures from the court. The court has taken a 10 minute break
Meanwhile poor grandma is trying to get to a cemetery near the court and Putin's thugs block her
The judge allowed documents to be submitted by Navalny's attorneys. Pretending to have a fair hearing meanwhile everyone knows the conclusion which is to do as Putin has instructed
"The chairman of the Simonovskiy District Court, which is considering the Navalny case, has resigned. It happened back in January" @tvrain
Outside arrests continue of anyone who walks and breaths. This woman was arrested for a solo picket which is allowed except when Putin's thugs carry out arrests. No reason for arrest was given
Russian Federal Penitentiary Service calls for Navalny to be sentenced to 3 years and 6 months in a prison colony. Still waiting for final outcome from these criminals
Prosecutor: Why did they ask to cancel the suspended sentence after December 29?

FSIN spokesman: It was believed that Navalny would change his attitude, but he did not take the path of corrections

What a sham circus! Putin's criminals and loyalists
The bullshit questioning continues. Of course no mention that Navalny was in Germany because Putin tried to assassinate him by novichok
Putin's gestapo have arrested 127 people out of court so far for walking. Many journalists in these figures
Navalny waiting for verdict. The circus questioning has ended
Back in court. Navalny explains he couldn't get documents to Russia because he was in a coma. The one Putin's criminals put him in by trying to kill him

Head of the Federal Penitentiary Service No. 15: You should have presented supporting documents!

Navalny: I had a coma!
FM propagandist spokeswoman Zakharova furious that foreign diplomats are at Navalny's hearing
“not just meddling but exposes the mean and illegal role of the collective west in attempts to restrain Russia. Or is it an attempt to put psychological pressure on the judge?”
Blah blah
The reps who came to the hearing
came to Navalny's hearing

USA
Great Britain
Germany
Poland
Denmark
Latvia
Lithuania
Sweden
Switzerland
Norway
Canada
Bulgaria
Finland
Japan
Austria
Czech
Arrests continue while RIA reports that Putin's thugs set up a perimeter around the court
Judge is still studying the documents. Ridiculous since the verdict is predetermined by Putin. Attempting to show this isn't a sham circus by pretending to look at evidence
The judge announces a 2 hour lunch break.
The verdict will be read at 8pm Moscow time which is in about 40 minutes
The sham hearing has resumed. Verdict should be announced shortly
Navalny sentenced to 3.5 years to a penal colony for surviving Putin's assassination attempt.
Meanwhile central Moscow is on lockdown with Putin's thugs flooded in the vicinity.
Putin's criminal thugs on the move. Moscow in under lockdown

Putin's rage crackdown continues. There were more arrests today even though they can't process the over 6,000 arrests over the past 48 hours. This is just one holding cell. People are getting arrested for retweeting, peacefully protesting, etc after a weekend of brutality
What the Kremlin is doing is predictable but outrageous. They are known for human rights crimes, assassinations, invasions of neighbors, yet the West continues to take no actions. What will it take to hold Putin and his regime accountable?
Just one of many many horror stories coming out
"They threatened with a stun gun, put a bag on my head, and started beating me."
Alena Kitaeva, a volunteer at Lyubov Sobol's headquarters, told how she was tortured at night at the Donskoy police station: theins.ru/news/239080

Haha! Someone has finally claimed Putin's Palace. His longtime criminal bff money man Arkady Rotenberg claims he owns the palace not Putin. Didn't realize he needs a no fly zone over the palace. Now that's settled 🙄
svoboda.org/a/31077530.html
Clearly Putin was bothered with Navalny's video that he had to first say he has never seen that palace and then find a fictitious owner
Who amongst us doesn't remember owning this? BTW Navalny's video now has over 103 million views

The Republican party is a terrorist organization and @GOPLeader @LeaderMcConnell have allowed this to happen.
Every single day we are discussing these deadly plots. Not to mention we have insurrectionists in Congress who incited an attack and nothing has been done.
While all of this is happening @GOPLeader is running to see Trump tomorrow. One terrorist attack wasn't enough for him. So infuriating
