❤️“Love is stronger than fear”: today, a peaceful #protest in #Russia. In Moscow, 230 women made a human chain, chanting “Freedom to political prisoners!” Over 10,000 arrested and all opposition leaders in jail or under house arrest.
There will be protests: people plan to step in the streets and backyards of apartment buildings with their phone flashlights alight in support of Navalny.
Some already happened in the Far East and Siberia.
The government watch dog Roscomnadzor is banning all info on social media. There is a government-organized anti-Navalny flash mob on the Internet. Everyone participating in protest risks arrests.
In the West, we can support these brave people by signing the petition with the demands to free political prisoners and sharing information. #любовьСильнееСтрахаchange.org/p/the-russian-…
💥Happening now: another trial of Navalny, already sentenced to 2.8 years. A fabricated case is based on his social media comment on RT (Russia Today) promotional video in which Putin’s allies push changes to the Constitution that extended Putin’s presidency.👇🏼
Navalny called performers “Putin’s lackeys” and now he faces jail time or fine in addition to 2.8 years. Accused of spreading “deliberately false information denigrating the honor and dignity" of a WWII veteran, Navalny is now abandoned by press.
Protests in his support were suppressed by Putin with vengeance. The world got tired of Russia and it’s never-ending drama. Drama or not, evil wins again.
Horrifying situation in Russia. Putin’s regime dropped all pretences & turned into fascist junta. Mass arrests/raids continue nationwide. Today, in major cities, transportation stopped, cities blocked. Another show trial of sentences Navalny.
Diplomats observing protests expelled in demonstration of power. All Navalny’s allies in jail are under house arrest. Journalists are in jail. Students/youth are forced to perform pro-Putin flash mobs. 5,000 criminal cases in Moscow only over the last week.
A doctor who treated Navalny after poisoning is dead at 55. Once again, Putin is allowed to kill, arrest, rob in broad daylight. A EU high ranked rep visited Russia under these circumstances. If the West continues empowering the fascist mafia state, it will become an empire.
Watch the interview with Navalny's doctor's lawyer. Anastasia Vasilieva treated Navalny after an attack in 2017 and is currently under house arrest, separated from her children. @ZevShalev show @narativ with @LincolnsBible
Will share the link to the interview separately. This is the link to a great conversation on @craigunger's new book, American Kompromat, with @lukeharding1968, author of Shadow State and Collusion. All of the above, plus House of Trump, House of Putin are must-reads.
👇🏼🔥🧵Three days after a sentence of 2.8 years in penal colony, #Navalny faces another court hearing for social media posts while EU rep visits Russia. #navalnyprotests#Russia
Navalny is accused of breaking Russia's libel law in his social media comments last June on the RT video. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/02/05…
He’s charged with defamation of WWII Veteran. penalty for defamation now include potential jail time. Prosecutors bring a 95 y.o.witness who doesn’t use the Internet. Navalny denies charges. Hearing delayed till Feb 12, meanwhile...
