Alexei Navalny, the dissident political leader languishing in a remote Russian penal colony, has been assaulted by prison guards there, his allies say. “They grabbed Navalny, they kicked him in the groin, and then they physically pinned him to the wall.”
The news of Navalny’s apparently deteriorating health comes just weeks after a documentary about his fight against Putin’s autocratic regimeTitled simply “Navalny,” the film chronicles his recuperation in Germany from an attempted Kremlin poisoning in 2020. It ends with Navalny’s dramatic return to Russia, where he is promptly arrested. He wasThe penal colony IK-6, where Navalny was transferred in March 2022.
Since his sentencing, Navalny has been subjected to prolonged stays in solitary confinement. It is routine for Russian dissidents to die in prison, a grim reality that recalls the Soviet gulags where millions perished. He added that the “smell in the cell was such that it was impossible to enter” and that Navalny refused to go in.
