Death of Navalny: Macron accuses Russia of “sentenced to death” “free spirits”. French President Emmanuel Macron praised the “commitment” and “courage” of Alexei Navalny.

The Kremlin's number one opponent died, according to the authorities, in his Arctic prison, a death which comes one month before the presidential election. His death after three years of detention and a poisoning for which he accused the Kremlin deprives an already bloodless opposition of its figurehead.
