Last night, demonstrations took place in Yerevan and Tbilisi over the death of opposition politician Alexei Navalny in a Russian colony. About 200 people gathered in front of the Russian Embassy in Yerevan, and more than a thousand in Tbilisi and Batumi.
The demonstrators voiced slogans: “Putin is a murderer,” “Russia will be free,” “Peace for Ukraine, freedom for Russia.” Some posters featured photographs of Russian President Putin demanding that those responsible be brought to justice.
On February 16, 47-year-old Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died in correctional colony No. 3 in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. After the walk, he reportedly felt unwell, lost consciousness, and suffered a blood clot. During his imprisonment, the oppositionist was sent to a punishment cell 27 times.
