Description
This study addresses political instability, civil unrest and rule of law violations in the Russian Federation. This includes police violence and the murder of lawyers, activists and government critics – which include numerous Putin critics who have ended up dead - such as Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, Human Rights Lawyer Stanislav Markelov, former Deputy Prime Minister Boris Nemtsov, Natalia Estemirova, Sergei Yushenkov, Alexander Litvinenko, Boris Berezovsky, Mikhail Lesin and many more. Soul survivor of these cowardly killings is Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny; who came to international prominence by organizing demonstrations and running for office to advocate reforms against corruption in Russia and Putin's government. After surviving an FSB assassination attempt in 2020, Navalny was sentenced for over two years in jail. The goal of this unjust and inhuman imprisonment is to break Alexei Navalny – Russia’s penal colony system being a blunt instrument used by the Kremlin to break the spirit of political opponents, marginalize critics and remove them from the playing field – a testament of injustice and lawlessness, which have become part of the political system in Russia. In a joint statement delivered to the United Nations Human Rights Council, 45 countries voiced alarm at the deteriorating situation of human rights and fundamental freedoms in Russia – manifested in particular by the unlawful detention, arrest and imprisonment of Alexei Navalny. The UN called for the immediate and unconditional release of Navalny and all others unlawfully or arbitrarily detained in Russia – so that rule of law, fundamental human rights and democratic freedoms can be restored in Russia. Also, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), requested the immediate release of Alexei Navalny, which Russian authorities ought to comply with; as Russia is a member of the Council of Europe rights body. It should also be noted, that journalists worldwide are urging Russia to stop persecuting independent media and journalists - hence the Kremlin and Russia's judiciary must make a greater effort to restore freedom of speech and media in the Russian Federation. It has also become evident, that political repression is increasing on an alarming level in Russia, and that the Putin government is increasingly cracking down on political opposition members and human rights activists - which must stop, so that social cohesion and democratic freedoms can be restored in Russia.
