    “The fact that we cannot find Alexey is especially alarming because last week he became ill in his cell: he became dizzy and laid down on the floor. The colony staff immediately came running, lowered the bed, laid Alexey down and put [him] on an IV,” [Kira Yarmysh] said on X.
    […]
    “I perfectly understand that, like many political prisoners, I am sitting on a life sentence. Where life is measured by the term of my life or the term of life of this regime,” [Navalny] said in a statement.

    Navalny knew something like this would probably happen; he became a personal enemy of Putin and even as a prisoner he remained a symbol of defiance against Putin.

    I hope Navalny is okay, but I fear the worst.

      Yeah, I don’t want to make any assumptions but I am surprised it took this long for something like this to happen. Putin loves making examples out of his enemies.
