Alexei Navalny, known for standing up to Russia’s President Putin, has died in prison, reports say. He was 47. Navalny was a prominent critic of Putin and fought against corruption in Russia.
After going for a walk in prison, Navalny felt sick and lost consciousness. Despite efforts to save him, he was pronounced dead. The reason for his death is still being looked into.
The Kremlin, where Putin works, said it doesn’t know more about what happened. Putin has been informed about Navalny’s death.
Navalny was famous for his fight against corruption. He led protests when he thought Putin’s party did not play fair in elections. In 2020, he was poisoned but survived after being treated in Germany. However, when he returned to Russia, he was arrested and faced many charges, which many believed were unfair.
Navalny believed that one day, things in Russia could change for the better. Even in tough times, he remained hopeful, telling friends, “Everything will be fine.”
In his last months, Navalny was kept in a harsh prison in Siberia. It was tough for him there, and often, people didn’t hear from him for weeks.
His death raises many questions and concerns about his treatment and the fight for freedom in Russia.
