During her visit to Russia’s President Putin in Moscow, Chancellor Angela Merkel once again demanded the release of the imprisoned opposition politician Alexei Navalny. One will “stick to the matter,” said Merkel.
Chancellor Angela Merkel has once again asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to release the Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny. “From our perspective, the conviction to stay in a penal colony on the basis of an earlier judgment, which the European Court of Human Rights has classified as obviously disproportionate, is not acceptable,” Merkel said on Friday at a press conference with Putin in Moscow. She had asked Putin “once again for Alexej Navalny to be released and made it clear that we would stick to the matter here,” added Merkel.
Navalny victim of poisonous snake
45-year-old Navalny is the fiercest opponent of the Russian president. He fell into a coma exactly one year ago on August 20, 2020 on a flight from the Siberian city of Tomsk to Moscow. Two days later, the opposition was flown to the Charité University Hospital in Berlin for treatment. He also met Chancellor Merkel there. She had repeatedly asked Moscow to investigate the attack using the chemical warfare agent Novichok.
Navalny blames Putin personally for the attack on him. He has been detained in a penal camp for months. The Russian judiciary has now banned its organizations. He is now threatened with an even longer prison term with a new charge
