Navalny’s widow urges Russians to protest on election day
Navalny’s widow, Yulia Navalnaya, has called on the Russian people to protest on election day in response to the recent assassination of her husband, opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
Speaking at a press conference in Moscow, Navalnaya said that the Russian government’s refusal to investigate Navalny’s murder and bring his killers to justice shows a blatant disregard for human rights and democracy.
She urged all Russians to come out in protest on election day as a show of solidarity with the opposition movement and to demand justice for Navalny.
Navalnaya’s call for protest comes amidst growing international condemnation of the Russian government’s handling of Navalny’s assassination and crackdown on political dissent.
As the world watches, Russians are being urged to use their voice and vote to demand accountability and change in their country.
