Europe s top human rights court demands Russia release Alexey Navalny immediately
February 17, 2021 / 9:54 AM / AP Kremlin critic Navalny sentenced to prison
Europe s top human rights court has ordered Russia to release jailed opposition leader Alexey Navalny, a ruling that will be unlikely to soften the Kremlin s determination to isolate its most prominent foe.
The ruling by the European Court of Human Rights that was posted on Navalny s website on Wednesday demands that Russia set him free immediately and warns that failing to do so would mark a breach of the European human rights convention.
Navalny, 44, an anti-corruption investigator and President Vladimir Putin s most prominent critic, was arrested last month upon returning from Germany, where he spent five months recovering from a nerve-agent poisoning that he blames on the Kremlin. Russian authorities have rejected the accusation.
