Jailed Opposition Leader Navalny Delivers Scathing Criticism Of Putin
Aleksei Navalny, a prominent Russian opposition leader who has been jailed since January, issued a scathing assessment of President Vladimir Putin on April 29. Navalny spoke at an appeal hearing for a case in which he was found guilty of defaming a World War II veteran. It was his first appearance since his three-week hunger strike, which he called off last week amid reports that his health was failing.
