Russia: Navalny says he is being held in the same ward as those convicted of murder

Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny announced on his Instagram account that he had been placed in the same ward with detainees convicted of murder at the IK-6 penitentiary in the Vladimir region.

“And the convicts are good. Calm and friendly. When I came here I immediately thought they were murderers. So it turned out. Almost all of them are murderers. The sentences are huge. My 9 years here is the smallest sentence, as if I were a preschooler. “The average sentence is 13-15 years. There are 19 and 20 years. These are people who have committed two murders,” Navalny wrote.

As Navalny himself says, it is “easier” to sit with people who have been sentenced to long sentences. “There is less fuss, less squabbles. Although they themselves are highly dependent on the management of the prisons,” he added.

Each prisoner lives his own drama, his own tragedy with his victim, his personal tragedy. “Destinies that were destroyed because of the passions or just because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

On March 22, a court convicted Navalny of fraud and disrespect to the court, sentencing him to nine years in a colony of strict detainees and a fine of 1.3 million rubles.

In late May, the Russian politician announced that he had been charged with setting up an extremist organization, which carries an additional sentence of up to 15 years in prison.
