Past attacks on Putin's critics

anti-corruption campaigner has been jailed several times over various charges including embezzlement and calling for unauthorised protests, which Russian leer has deunced as politically motivated. He has strongly criticised sweeping constitutional reforms introduced by Putin, giving himself an option to stay in power beyond term limits.

According to media reports, supporters of 44-year-old politician in Siberian jokingly asked how ir leer is still alive, to which Navalny said that his death wouldn’t help Putin. If medical reports confirm poisoning as that cause of his critical health condition, previous attacks on Putin’s high-profile critics would be once again thrown into spotlight.

In 2006, investigative journalist Anna Politkovskaya, a strong critic of human rights abuses in Chechnya, was killed in Moscow and ar critic Alexander Litvinenko died in London after being poisoned with a rioactive substance. An inquiry by UK authorities later found out that Litvinenko was killed by Russian spies.
