🔴A new message from #Navalny (just out, 20 min ago): "It's getting harder and harder to figure out what's really going on there, outside of my prison cell." Thread. 👇The article on the protests👇(50--120,000 in the streets, 1,200arrested) Pls RT zarinazabrisky.medium.com/putin-addresse…
"Hi, this is Navalny. It's getting harder and harder for me to figure out what's really going on there, outside of my prison cell. Right now I only have a TV without remote control, & all the buttons (including the volume one!!!) are blocked so I can only watch a Culture channel"
"One hour a day. But my lawyer came to visit and told me a bit about what happened yesterday and - I will tell you honestly - two feelings are raging inside me: pride and hope. Pride for being a part of this great and beautiful whole..."
"I am one of you - you, honest people, who do not keep silent at the sight of injustice and lawlessness. People who are not afraid, despite all the evil feelings and hatred flowing from the Kremlin now. Because these people understand:"
"Because these people understand: to be afraid now is to lose, sell and waste your own future. Yesterday, you were walking with me, and today I will lie on the prison bench and imagine how I'm walking with you and for you.
And it is clear about hope."
"Here it is - the salvation of Russia. It's you. Those who stepped out to the streets. Those who did not step out, but supported the rally. And even those who did not publicly support, but felt empathy."
"Our country is slipping into darkness. In the prosperous 21st century, people of Russia, the country so rich in resources, is getting poorer every year. We are not developing, but lag behind and deteriorate every year."
"The only reason for it is the marasmic, pervert, dumb (but evil and cunning) old men from the Kremlin who trade a decent, rich life of Russian citizens for their own palaces and vineyards on a daily basis. But here - people are in the streets."
"It means, they know & understand everything. They won't give up their future, the future of their children, or their country. Yes, it'll be hard & dark for a while. But those who are pulling Russia back are historically doomed. They're still more of us. Russia will be happy!"
#Navalny's new message from prison. He still didn't get to see a doctor and on hunger strike despite an estimated 50K-120K in the streets demanding justice for him. Please help him and the people of Russia by sharing his words. Russia without #Putin! #FreeNalvany #FreeNavalnyNow

BREAKING: Arrests and raids galore in Russia, as the country braces itself for unsanctioned rallies in support of #Navalny & #Putin's address to the nation. I will report live. In Moscow, the police just pulled out of a taxi and drove away an opposition leader Lyubov Sobol.👇👇👇
BREAKING: In St. Petersburg, the police searched the homes of six activists and a journalist. Water canon trucks appeared on the main street of the city. In Kurgan, an employee of Navalny's Anti-Corruption Fund center, as well as the girlfriend of the coordinator, were detained.
In Irkutsk, an activist was detained six hours before the rally, without a reason, as he walked down the street. In Ulan-Ude, the mayor's office suddenly decided to fumigate the square where the rally was planned, "against ticks."

#Navalny's message from the colony, just now: "I wish you'd see me now - you'd laugh. Imagine a skeleton walking, staggering around the cell, desperately smacking mosquitoes on the walls and ceiling with a rolled up court order." Thread #FreeNalvany
"These squeaking and biting critters could kill a person faster than any hunger strike.
You can tell horror stories about me to kids who refuse to eat their meals.
Masha, if you don't eat your cereal, you will become like this man, all giant ears, a skull-like face & sunken eyes.
"Oh no, Mom! Please! I'll eat everything and ask for more!
But anyway, life brings you great moments and you have fun and laugh.
This weekend - I will not lie - wasn't good. I was admitted to a prison hospital ward at another penal colony.

The situation in #Russia escalates. #Navalny was transferred to a penal colony hospital. His trusted doctors are still not allowed to see him. No more blood test results. His lawyer was only allowed to see him for several minutes. Vitamin treatment is administered/no details.👇🏽
Navalny's allies are calling for an all-Russia protest. Their organization is about to be proclaimed a terrorist organization. Anyone associated with Navalny can be imprisoned for 6-10 years. The database with emails of people registered for the rally hacked and made public. 👇🏽
We will be holding rallies around the US and Canada to advocate appropriate independent medical attention to Alexey Navalny. The rally will take place on April 20 and 21--see the list of current events and more will be added. 👇🏽

👇🏼🛑EU leaders: The European Union is deeply concerned about reports that the Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny’s health in the penal colony continues to deteriorate even further. consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press…
We call on the Russian authorities to grant him immediate access to medical professionals he trusts. The Russian authorities are responsible for Mr Navalny’s safety and health in the penal colony, to which we hold them to account
As a continuation to the clear messages passed during the High Representative’s visit to Moscow in February regarding the situation of Mr Navalny, the EU will continue to call for his immediate and unconditional release as we consider his sentencing politically motivated

⚡Today, as the whole world is pleading with the Kremlin to let #Navalny be seen by doctors, a medical team (resuscitation specialist, MDs, neurosurgeon) came to Navalny's colony & for hours begged to check on Navalny but were not allowed inside. 20 days of hunger strike.Thread👇🏽
Navalny's team & leaders of his Anti-Corruption Foundation called for all-Russia protests on Wed, April 21. Their address: "Have you ever witnessed a murder of a human being? You are watching it now... Navalny is being killed as you are reading this. In a terrifying manner."👇🏽👆
This week, the Kremlin started a process to recognize the Anti-Corruption Foundation and Navalny's HQ as an extremist organization. The Foundation carried out investigations for 10 yrs under extreme pressure, facing raids, arrests, criminal cases, interrogations 👆👇🏽

These are real heroes. This doctor just spent over a month under home arrest (first w/o the right to seeing her kids.) Now, she & her colleagues are going to the penal colony to insist on the right to treat #Navalny. His condition is deteriorating; the colony is struck by TB.
This is the same doctor who played Beethoven while her house was being searched. Here's my interview with her lawyer from 2 months ago only. Now she's risking her life again...
#Navalny is on a hunger strike and lost 13 kg (26 lbs). He's showing symptoms of the coma and toxic poisoning aftermath, according to the doctors in the video above. #Putin is killing people in the broad daylight and in front of the whole world. Share a word.
