On the second anniversary of Aleksei Navalny's death: 'The whole world knows who ordered this'
On the second anniversary of his death, Aleksei Navalny's mother expresses her belief that her son was murdered and calls for justice.
Ljudmila Navalnaja, the mother of Russian opposition leader Aleksei Navalny, visited her son's grave to mark the second anniversary of his death, which was recently revealed to have been caused by poisoning from the toxin of the golden poison frog. During her visit, she firmly stated that she believes her son was murdered and emphasized that 'the whole world knows who ordered this'. Her hope is for those responsible for her son's assassination to be brought to justice.
The anniversary also saw comments from Navalny's widow, Julija Navalnaja, who is continuing her husband's political work. In a short social media update, she reflected on the significance of the day, sharing an old photo of Navalny on Instagram. Her message subtly hinted that those behind Navalny's poisoning would eventually be held accountable, with the phrase, 'Two years. We have already achieved the truth, and one day we will also achieve justice.' This reflects the ongoing struggle of Navalny's family and supporters to uncover the truth surrounding his death and to seek justice in the face of alleged state-sponsored murder.
Navalny's case has drawn international attention, highlighting concerns over political repression in Russia. The revelations regarding the cause of his death and the continued calls for accountability underscore the broader issues of human rights and the risks faced by political dissidents in the country. As Navalny's family commemorates his life and legacy, their determination to seek justice resonates not only within Russia but also among supporters of democratic freedoms worldwide.
