Two days after the death of Russian opposition head, Alexei Navalny, the British "Times" reported this morning (Sunday) that Federal Security Service (FBS) officers arrived at the Arctic prison where the activist was being held in the days leading up to his death. According to the report, the officers disconnected cameras and microphones in Navalny's cell.
Following the report, human rights organizations in Russia attacked Putin's regime, claiming that, "the timing can only mean one thing - everything was planned and coordinated in advance."
In a statement from the correctional service in the Yamalo-Nenets district, where Navalny was held before his death, it is claimed that the opposition leader "felt ill after walking and almost immediately lost consciousness. A medical emergency team was called to the scene, but despite resuscitation efforts, he was pronounced dead on the spot."
However, the message stated that the time of his death was 2:17pm local time, only two minutes before the event was published in Russian state media - something that immediately raised suspicions that Putin's regime was behind Navalny's death.
In the meantime, thousands of people continue protesting in Russia and around the world. More than 200 arrests were made in Russia after protesters clashed with police.
This morning, (Sunday) police announced the closure of parks and central centers in Moscow as well as other central cities in Russia, apparently with the aim of preventing an increase in demonstrations by opposition activists.
