At 47 years old, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny had spent more than a decade relentlessly fighting corruption in Russia before he died on Friday while serving a politically-motivated 19-year sentence at a penal colony. Let’s remember his resolute belief in self-determination any time a Trump or a Carlson praises Putin again.

The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today announced that Canada is imposing new sanctions against 15 Russian individuals and 3 entities under the Special Economic Measures (Russia) Regulations in response to the rising levels of human rights violations and state-sponsored violence faced by political opponents and critics as Russia attempts to repress internal dissent. The sanctioned individuals and entities are senior officials of the Russian government, judiciary and investigative committee, as well as federally funded courts, including the notorious Basmanny District Court, which have been directly involved in human rights abuses against Russian opposition leaders, including Vladimir Kara-Murza, Alexei Navalny and other Russian citizens.

A Moscow court sentenced Russian writer Dmitry Glukhovsky on Monday to eight years in prison, finding him guilty of deliberately spreading false information about Russia's armed forces. Glukhovsky, who is not in Russia and who was tried in absentia, is best known for writing a science fiction series and is the latest artist to be handed a prison term in a relentless crackdown on dissent in Russia. On Friday, imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was convicted on charges of extremism and sentenced to 19 years in prison.

The new sentence imposed on jailed Russian politician Alexei Navalny on Friday raises renewed serious concerns about judicial harassment and instrumentalization of the country's court system for political purposes, the UN Human Rights High Commissioner said in a statement. Volker Türk said the 19-year sentence was based on vague and overly broad charges of "extremism" and followed a closed trial on the premises of the prison where Mr. Navalny is already serving two other sentences amounting to 11 and a half years.

The new sentence imposed today on opposition figure Alexei Navalny raises renewed serious concerns about judicial harassment and instrumentalization of the court system for political purposes in Russia. The 19-year sentence was based on vague and overly broad charges of "extremism", and followed a closed trial on the premises of the prison where Navalny is already serving two other sentences amounting to 11 and a half years. Under international human rights law, States have an obligation to respect, protect and fulfil the full range of fair trial and due process rights to all individuals deprived of their liberty.

A Moscow court's new sentence for the leading Russian opposition activist Alexey Navalny is in an obvious attempt to ensure that he remains incarcerated and isolated for any foreseeable future, Human Rights Watch said today. Navalny was sentenced to 19 years in a maximum-security prison designed for particularly dangerous recidivists and those serving life sentences. "The totally unfounded new conviction against Alexey Navalny is a testament to the Kremlin's resolve to decapitate Russian opposition for many years to come," said Hugh Williamson , Europe and Central Asia director at Human Rights Watch.

Russian state prosecutors on Thursday asked a court to sentence jailed opposition politician Alexei Navalny to a further 20 years in a penal colony on criminal charges, including extremism, at the close of his trial, his supporters said. The 47-year-old has been on trial behind closed doors for a month at the IK-6 penal colony in Melekhovo, about 235 km (145 miles) east of Moscow, where he is already serving sentences totalling 11-1/2 years on fraud and other charges which he says were trumped up to silence him.

Jailed Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny, on trial on extremism charges that could see him imprisoned for decades, on Tuesday wondered wryly why he was a greater threat to Russia than the mercenaries who had launched an armed mutiny. In tweets posted by his aides, Navalny said he had been allowed no radio or conversations in his penal colony since June 1. So he thought his lawyers were teasing him when they told him before a session of his trial about the Wagner militia's aborted weekend mutiny against military chiefs, in which an armed convoy drove to within 200 km (120 miles) of Moscow.
