Jailed Putin Critic’s Message For Russians

Moscow:

Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny on Friday urged Russians to keep resisting the Kremlin after a Russian court sentenced him to 19 years in prison in a new trial.

“They want to frighten you, not me, and deprive you of the will to resist,” he said in a statement posted on Facebook.

“You are being forced to surrender your Russia without a fight to a gang of traitors, thieves and scoundrels who have seized power… Don’t lose the will to resist.”
