After seeking\u2062 treatment in Germany, Navalny returned \u2062to Russia in 2021 \u2064only to be immediately arrested by Putin&#8217;s team. He was then moved to a\u200d remote Arctic prison, his whereabouts unknown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;For weeks, they kept him hidden, constantly moving him so that \u200bno one could find him,&#8221; Shapiro revealed. &#8220;Finally, he managed to \u2064release a message stating that he was in\u2064 an extremely cold place\u2064 up \u200cnorth, surrounded by dogs \u2064and snow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shapiro shared footage of Navalny from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/man-accused-of-killing-republican-teenager-over-politics-says-he-doesnt-understand-charge-against-him\/\" title=\"Man Accused of Killing Republican Teenager Over Politics Says He \"Doesn't Understand\" Charge Against Him\">recent court appearance<\/a>, noting, &#8220;As \u200cyou can see,\u200b he looks alive and well. Though visibly thin, he does\u2063 not appear to be on the brink of death.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/russia\/alexei-navalny-dead-prison-putin-critic-d58db496\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Navalny&#8217;s\u200d death eliminates the last\u200d real political opposition that still remained inside \u200cRussia following Putin&#8217;s\u200c invasion of \u2062Ukraine, his \u2064crackdown on freedom\u2064 of speech, and the passage of increasingly draconian laws aimed at stamping out any dissent&#8230;\u2062 Navalny&#8217;s time in jail reflected the worst excesses of a judicial \u200cand\u2064 prison system that has increasingly been \u200dused to punish Putin&#8217;s \u200bpolitical opponents. He endured continuous suffering, including sleep deprivation from hourly wake-ups by guards. He was\u200b subjected to solitary confinement 27 times, sometimes for minor\u2064 infractions like\u200d a missed button on his\u2063 prison uniform.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Given the regular occurrences of &#8216;suicides&#8217; and\u200c &#8216;death by natural\u200d causes&#8217; \u2062among Putin&#8217;s opponents, it&#8217;s \u2062no surprise that everyone \u2062suspects Putin&#8217;s involvement in \u200bNavalny&#8217;s demise,&#8221; Shapiro asserted. &#8220;The Putin regime likely \u200cfelt \u2064threatened by Navalny, whether from external forces or within Russia itself, and \u200csaw this \u2062as a convenient time \u200cto \u200celiminate him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a 2020 interview on 60 Minutes, Navalny discussed his poisoning during a flight from Moscow to \u2063Siberia, \u200bwhere he \u2064had been campaigning against Putin&#8217;s party\u200c in a local election. He collapsed, knowing he was dying \u200cbut without\u200d experiencing any pain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shapiro\u200d suggested \u200bthat Putin may have wanted\u2063 to poison Navalny \u200cdue \u2062to his possession of incriminating internal \u200bfinancial documents involving high-ranking Russian officials, which he had posted on \u2062a\u2062 blog.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Navalny stated on 60 Minutes, \u200b&#8221;There&#8217;s something very special about \u2062Mr. Putin \u2013 he&#8217;s \u200bcrazy about money. Personal money, his family&#8217;s\u200c wealth, his friends&#8230; all of them, billionaires. So when he fights corruption, \u200dhe&#8217;s essentially fighting against me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;And\u2064 now, he has fought \u2062him to the\u2063 point of Navalny&#8217;s death,&#8221; Shapiro remarked. &#8220;The reality is \u2063that Vladimir Putin is a ruthless \u2062dictator who eliminates his political opponents. The list of people he \u2062has killed, from journalists \u2062to fellow\u2064 oligarchs to dissidents challenging him both domestically and internationally, is extensive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What\u2063 is the significance of the \u2063international community&#8217;s lack of response to the \u200btreatment of \u200cNavalny and\u2063 the suspicious deaths in\u2064 Russia linked to Putin&#8217;s\u200c regime?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u200bPrison, leading up to his mysterious death, has raised questions about the extent of Putin&#8217;s \u200dpower and \u2062the\u2063 lengths he is willing to go to silence his critics.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shapiro\u200b expressed his \u200bconcern over the treatment of Navalny and the lack of international response. &#8220;This \u2064man was a brave voice\u2064 \u2060\u2014 \u2063the voice of those who dared to speak out against a tyrannical regime. And \u2063yet,\u200b he was abandoned \u2060\u2014 \u2063abandoned by his own government and abandoned by the international\u2062 community,&#8221; Shapiro stated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The death of Navalny adds to a long list of suspicious deaths in Russia that have been linked to \u200dPutin&#8217;s regime. From journalists \u2062to political opponents, several individuals who have spoken out against the government \u200bhave met untimely ends.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shapiro urged leaders around \u200dthe world to \u200btake a stand against Putin&#8217;s oppressive tactics. &#8220;If\u2064 we remain\u2064 silent, if we turn a blind eye, then we are complicit in the suffering and \u2063death of those who fight for\u2064 freedom and\u2063 justice. We have a moral \u2063obligation\u2062 to \u2062condemn\u200d these\u200b atrocities \u200cand\u2063 hold Putin accountable for \u200bhis actions,&#8221;\u200c he asserted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, Shapiro emphasized the importance of\u200b supporting the people of Russia in their struggle for democracy. &#8220;We must stand with the Russian\u200b people\u2063 in their fight for liberty. We must\u200c give them a voice when their own is silenced. We must \u200cshow them that they\u200c are not alone,&#8221; Shapiro passionately declared.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In conclusion, the mysterious death of Alexei Navalny has raised \u2064serious concerns about the state of democracy and human \u200drights in Russia. \u200cIt serves as a chilling\u2063 reminder\u200b of the \u200dlengths some \u200dleaders will go to \u2062suppress dissent and maintain power.\u2063 The \u200dinternational community must come together and hold Vladimir Putin accountable \u2063for his actions, ensuring that justice is served and that those who fight for freedom are honored and\u200d protected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russia to recover from a poisoning attempt, only to be imprisoned and ultimately die.
