Navalny’s widow urges Russians to protest on election day

The widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has urged Russians to protest on election day in order to demand justice for her late husband. Yulia Navalnaya, who now lives in Lithuania after fleeing Russia for her safety, made the call for nationwide protests on social media.

Alexie Navalny, a fierce critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, died in prison earlier this year after being poisoned with a nerve agent, which he and many others believe was orchestrated by the Russian government. His death sparked widespread outrage and condemnation from the international community.

Yulia Navalnaya has been vocal in her calls for justice for her husband and has continued to speak out against the Russian government’s oppressive tactics. She has called on Russians to use their vote as a way to protest against the regime and demand accountability for those responsible for her husband’s death.

It remains to be seen how many Russians will heed Yulia Navalnaya’s call for protest on election day, but the message is clear: the fight for justice and democracy in Russia continues.
