Death of Alexeï Navalny: “criminal and political” responsibility of Putin, according to the European Parliament. European Parliament demands an independent and transparent international investigation into the exact circumstances of the death of the Russian opponent.
Describing the regime as “warmongering, autocratic and kleptocratic”, the Parliament expresses its support for the democratic opposition in Russia. It urges member states to redouble their efforts to find concrete ways to release political prisoners, particularly those in poor health or victims of torture.
