Russia’s Human Rights Commissioner says she’s received more than 50 official complaints from jailed opposition figure Alexey Navalny
Russian Human Rights Commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova said at a briefing on Monday that she’s received more than 50 complaints from jailed Russian opposition politician Alexey Navalny, according to the Russian state news outlet TASS.
As a convict, Moskalkova reportedly said, Navalny is guaranteed a “full set package of rights,” and accordingly, each of his appeals has been reviewed by the prosecutor’s office and by the heads of Russia’s Federal Penitentiary Service. “Not a single one [of Navalny’s complaints] has been overlooked,” she told reporters.
Alexey Navalny has been in prison since January 2021, when he returned to Russia from Germany, where he had been taken for treatment after being poisoned, and was detained by the Russian authorities on trumped-up criminal charges. In the more than two years he’s spent incarcerated, Navalny has reported various forms of mistreatment.
