Despite Alexei Navalny’s death, Russia refuses to remove his ‘terrorist’ label, showing Putin’s ongoing fear of the opposition leader.
Moscow: So, Yulia Navalnaya just shared some pretty shocking news. Even after Alexei Navalny’s death, Russia is still keeping him on that “terrorist and extremist” list. Can you believe it? She says it shows that Putin is still scared of him.
According to a letter from Russia’s financial watchdog, they claim Navalny was involved in money laundering and financing terrorism. Since they weren’t told about any changes, he remains on that list. It’s wild!
It’s been almost a year since Navalny, a major political figure, was declared dead while in a harsh prison. He was only 47 and reportedly collapsed after a walk. Just tragic.
Yulia believes Putin is behind her husband’s death and even offered a reward for anyone with info about it. Many world leaders are pointing fingers at Putin too, blaming him for what happened.
But the Kremlin? They’re denying it all, saying Navalny died of natural causes. Yulia posted on Telegram that Putin is still “afraid” of Alexei, even after killing him.
She thinks the whole “terrorist” label is just a way to scare people from standing up against the government. She said, “Why does Putin need this? It’s to intimidate you.”
Yulia is also on that list, which means they can freeze her bank accounts. Three lawyers who worked with Navalny are facing charges too, and their trial has been super secretive.
Verdicts for those lawyers are expected soon, and it’s all part of a bigger picture of political repression in Russia. It’s just outrageous!
