Navalny gives sign of life from ‘true concentration camp’ | Abroad

Anonymous sources have previously confirmed to the Tass news agency that Navalny was in the relevant penal camp, but his supporters had little faith in the reports of this Kremlin spokesman. They feared for the welfare of the biggest challenger to Putin’s regime, who was sentenced to two and a half years in prison in a fabricated lawsuit in late January.

The Russian president’s spokesman left questions about the location of Russia’s main prisoner unanswered during his press conference Monday morning. “We have no information about the whereabouts of convicts in the Russian Federation.”

At the same time, Navalny’s lawyers complained that they had an appointment this morning to see their client, but were only told at the gates of the prison camp to wait. Witness his sign of life on Instagram, this meeting took place in the afternoon.

Tomorrow, the military court will hear a complaint from Navalny’s counsel over the inadequate investigation into Navalny’s poisoning last August, for which Kremlin opponents hold Putin’s secret services responsible. This case must attend Navalny via video link.
