Vladimir Putin’s fiercest critic Alexei Navalny died on Friday in a Russian prison.


Navalny was the biggest political opponent of Putin but was put in jail in 2021 but the Russian leader on what rights group said false charges.

According to The Washington Post, Russia’s prison service announced his death at 47, giving no cause. It said only that he “felt unwell” after a walk and lost consciousness, adding that a medical team failed to resuscitate him. “Emergency doctors confirmed the death of the convict,” the prison statement said.

His death immediately became an issue in the US prez election with Nikki Haley saying: “Putin did this. The same Putin who Donald Trump praises and defends. The same Trump who said:“In all fairness to Putin, you’re saying he killed people. I haven’t seen that.”
