Alexei Navalny is a Russian opposition leader, politician, jurist and anti-corruption activist. He came to international prominence by organizing demonstrations, and running for office, to advocate reforms against corruption in Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Putin’s government. Navalny has been described as "the man Vladimir Putin fears most" by The Wall Street Journal. Putin avoids directly referring to Navalny by name. Navalny is a Russian Opposition Coordination Council member, the leader of the Progress Party and the founder of the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK). In 2020, he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. On 20 August 2020, Navalny was hospitalized in serious condition after he was sickened with a nerve agent during a flight from Tomsk to Moscow. He was medically evacuated to Berlin and discharged on 22 September. Russian prosecutors have refused to open a criminal investigation into the matter. Though the Kremlin denied involvement in his illness, the EU and the UK responded by imposing sanctions on six senior Russian officials and a state chemical centre. On 17 January 2021, he returned to Russia, where he was immediately detained on accusations of violating terms of a suspended jail sentence. Navalny is currently held in jail for the next 30 days. Petition your Congressional Representative to pressure Vladmir Putin to release Alexei Navalny at once!! | |||||||||||||||
