Russia’s prison agency announced on Friday the death of imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny. The 47-year-old, a staunch critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, experienced discomfort and lost consciousness after a walk. Navalny was serving a 19-year jail term at the time of his death, which has raised eyebrows and sparked speculations. Navalny was a lawyer and social activist, known for his leadership of the Russia of the Future party and the Anti-Corruption Foundation. He led numerous protests against the government and accused them of corruption. Amnesty International recognized him as a prisoner of conscience and awarded him the Sakharov Prize for his human rights work. Navalny had accused the Russian government of trying to assassinate him, an allegation vehemently denied by the Kremlin. The Investigative Committee has launched a probe into his death. Details regarding the cause of death remain unknown, with the Russian government refusing to disclose information. The sudden demise of Navalny, who survived a nerve agent poisoning in 2020, has drawn international attention.
