In a high security penal colony. Western governments and human Rights Groups universally condemned it but there is little they can do to help him. Having already allegedly poisoned him with nerve agent, it seems the kremlin intend to silence him forever behind the highest walls in the country. His treatment during imprisonment has been grim hes been subject to sleep deprivation, there have been long stretches of solitary confinement, he has even been forced to listen to Vladimir Putins speeches repeatedly. And he has been Hunger Strike. The Alexei Navalny on our screens today is a pale shadow of the man that was arrested two years ago. In the last hour or so following his extended sentence,we heard extended sentence, we heard from navalny in a post on x, the app formerly known as twitter. He told his almost Three Million followers 19 years in a maximum security penal colony. The number of years does not matter. I perfectly understand that, like Many Political prisoners, i am sitting on a life sentence. Where life is measured by the term of my life or the term of life of this regime. The Sentencing Figure is not for me. It is for you. You, not me, are being frightened and deprived of the will to resist. You are being forced to surrender your country of russia without a fight to the gang of traitors, thieves, and scoundrels who have seized power. Putin must not achieve his goal. Do not lose the will to resist. Were joined now by bill browder, the founder and ceo of Hermitage Capital management, which was the largest foreign investor in russia until 2005. He is a leading campaigner to expose russian corruption and human rights abuses. Your reaction to the sentencing in the tweet we just read out. It is the tweet we ust read out. It is clear that the tweet we just read out. It is clear that alexei the tweet we just read out. It 3 clear that Alexei Navalny is committed the greatest crime in russia to expose Vladimir Putin and resist them and stand up to putin. This is something that putin cannot stand anyone who is an effective exposure of corruption has to pay the most serious penalty in a 19 year sentence reflectively standing up year sentence reflectively standing up to putin says it all and how weak putin is that he has to put all these political opponents in prison. Its notjust Alexei Navalny, anybody who is at an effective stance against putin is sitting behind bars. Stance against putin is sitting behind bars. ,. , behind bars.

Ever notice that you did kill him and he is popular. And they are desperately scared of moderating him and became a symbolic figure that maybe that leads to the end of the regime. Putin is very scared of Alexei Navalny outside of the life and afraid of him dad and all they can do is try to hold and keep quiet and do whatever they can to make sure no one listens to what he has to say. It seems very clear that they do not want a martyr as well. Prequel the statement condemning the political persecution of Alexei Navalny. Is there anything they can do to help them .
