- President Biden has blamed Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin for the death of the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a Siberian prison. “Make no mistake, Putin is responsible for Navalny’s death,” Biden said in a speech at the White House.
He said the United States did not know exactly what had happened to Navalny, but that “there is no doubt" that his death "was the consequence of something that Putin and his thugs did.”
Navalny was Russia's most significant opposition leader for the past decade.
President Vladimir Putin's most outspoken critic within Russia was serving 19 years on extremism charges that were widely seen as politically motivated.
His wife Yulia has appealed to the international community "to help punish this regime".

Stop calling it death. It was a state murder.
This world is getting sicker and sicker each day. RIP.
Deepest Condolences TO His Wife and Family.
Its ionic how they're bothered about one death but not bothered causing thousands of deaths themselves.....
It's so sad that people all over the world are afraid to speak.
A sad day. A man that actually could have helped his country instead of the crooks a gangsters currently in power. Navalny will be remembered long after putrid is gone.
Julian Assange, any news about him?!!
And the world does nothing….sad times
Navalnyj had a backbone and balls of steel in a land full of sheep afraid of the big bad wolf.
‘Died suddenly’ at 47 you don’t have to be in prison to get that nowadays…
So sad, such a brave man... I hope he is now at peace 😢
I cannot say that I'm surprised, I knew this would happen as soon as I saw that he returned to Russia.
May he rest in peace, and his fight for good over evil never be forgotten.
Never understood why he went back after surviving the poisoning !
How's that pipeline explosion investigation going?
Nothing will change and nothing will be done in relation to this.
"A shaft of light, in the dark"
Throughout the world history, often than not, a brave, outspoken patriot who truly cared for their country and was not afraid to speak the truth against the dictatorship were tossed into a prison or killed. What a shame.
Can anyone tell me on what charges Julian Assange has been under arrest for years in the UK? Can you also tell me what Assange risks if he were extradited to the USA?
My deepest condolences to his family.
