© Amnesty Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalny Sputnik / Pavel Bednyakov; (inset)Amnesty International s statement that it doesn t consider Alexey Navalny a prisoner of conscience has his supporters up in arms. The group s efforts to defend the activist don t stack up, but the decision is wrong nonetheless. A prisoner of conscience, simply defined, is somebody who is imprisoned because of his or her religious or political beliefs. The term is value-free. It doesn t matter what you believe, or the nature of your character; if your beliefs land you in jail, you re a prisoner of conscience. You can be quite revolting, but the label still fits.
