Alexei Navalny has reportedly died in prison. His death sparked worldwide reactions. The first will now take up the topic in a special broadcast.
Alexei Navalny, like many prominent Kremlin critics before him, paid with his life for his fight against Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to the judiciary, the country’s most famous political prisoner died on Friday at the age of 47 in his Siberian penal colony. It is said he collapsed after a walk and attempts to revive him were unsuccessful.
The announcement was followed by reactions from all over the world. German politicians such as former Chancellor Angela Merkel also commented on the sudden death of the Kremlin opponent. As do Navalny’s wife and mother. Accordingly, her son was said to have been “alive, healthy and full of life” at their last meeting last Monday, reports the Kremlin-critical newspaper Novaya Gazeta.
Special edition of “Focus”
Due to the explosiveness, the first has now decided to include the topic in its program at short notice and broadcast a special program on Friday evening. This emerges from a press release. Accordingly, an edition of “Brennpunkt” with the title “The Navalny Case” is planned for 8:15 p.m. The format lasts 15 minutes and is moderated by Ellen Ehni.
The special program explores various questions, including: “What does the death of the most famous dissident mean for the regime in Moscow and what for the opposition? How do the Western states react, many of which have gathered in Munich for the security conference?” The “Brennpunkt” episode will be available in the ARD media library after the broadcast.
From 8.30 p.m. the originally planned program will continue on the first. Viewers can look forward to the television film “I want my happiness back” with Michaela May and Helmut Zierl.
