"The death of Alexei Navalnyj in the Russian prison of Kharp represents the worst and most unjust conclusion of a human and political story that has shaken the consciences of world public opinion. Navalnyj was condemned for his ideas and his desire for freedom to a long detention in very harsh conditions. An unfair and unacceptable price, which brings back memories of the darkest times in history. Times that we hoped we would never have to relive again. His courage will remain an inspiration to everyone. I express to the family of Alexei Navalnyj the condolences and closeness of the Italian Republic".
President Sergio Mattarella wrote this in a statement.
