Russia Issues Arrest Warrant for Alexei Navalny’s Widow
A Moscow court on Tuesday ordered the arrest of the widow of the opposition leader Alexei Navalny on charges of extremism.
Yulia Navalnaya, who has lived abroad in self-exile since 2021, was accused of “participating in an extremist community” and placed on an international wanted list, according to The New York Times.
“Vladimir Putin is a murderer and a war criminal,” Navalnaya tweeted in response to news of the arrest order. “His place is in prison, and not somewhere in The Hague, in a cozy cell with a TV, but in Russia—in the same colony and the same two-by-three-meter cell in which he killed Alexei.”
