“We Ask the Russian Authorities To Immediately Release Navalny”
“We ask the Russian authorities to release him immediately. We are ready to invite him to the European Parliament,” European Parliament President Sassoli tweeted after Navalny‘s detention. The head of the European Council, Charles Michel, said that “the detention of Aleksey Navalny upon arrival in Moscow is unacceptable” and called for “the Russian authorities to immediately release him”. “The Russian authorities must respect the rights of Aleksey Navalny and release him immediately. The politicisation of justice is unacceptable,” echoed EU.
