New US President Joe Biden has strongly defended Alexei Navalny as the Russian opposition has likened North Caucasus Muslims to “beetles” and called for their assassination.
Thename of “Alexei Navalny” , a Russian protester and one of the biggest opponents of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has been in the headlines of the world media these days, and even the new US President Joe Biden on Thursday, February 4, 2021 (16 February 1399) in his important speech on foreign policy the government explicitly naming him and threatening tone than Putin demanded the release of “immediate and unconditional” was Navalny . But who is Alexei Navalny?
What is the story of Alexei Navalny?
Navalny, who had previously been arrested on various charges, including in 2014 and 2020, was released in August 2020 on parole and had to report regularly to Russian security forces. The poisoning was taken to a hospital in Russia and he fell into a coma. He was then taken to Germany for treatment and treated for about five months. After the German government claimed [3] that Navalny poisoning was caused by Novichuk’s nerve agent in his body, [4] the finger of blame was quickly pointed at Vladimir Putin, although the Kremlin has denied involvement in Navalny poisoning.
Russian officials had warned that Navalny had violated his parole by going to Germany and would be arrested if he returned to Russia. However, Navalny on Sunday, January 17, 2021 (28 January 1399), from Germany to Russia immediately after his arrival in Russia, was arrested in one of the Moscow airports [6] .
His arrest sparked a wave of protests and condemnation, both inside Russia and internationally. In Russia, a number of people in different parts of the streets to protest the arrest of Navalny [7].In the international arena as well as organizations [8] and Western governments, including the New America [9] , issued statements calling for “the immediate release of [10] ” The conflict with Russia [11] and co Moscow to clarify aspects of poisoning Navalny [12] [13] . The European Union and the United Kingdom even imposed sanctions on Russia. [14] . Finally, on Tuesday, February 2, 2021 (14 February 1399), Navalny by a court in Moscow to “three and a half years imprisonment including home detention” sentence [15] . This means that Navalny should take about two years and eight months in prison [16] .
Why is the blood of Westerners boiling over from the capture of Navalny?
On paper, everything is clear: Vladimir Putin has poisoned one of his opponents, and the blood of Westerners has been boiling over human rights abuses in Russia. But is that the reality? Evidence character Navalny, including his presence [17] in the class of 2010. [18] “members of the World,” American University “Yale” (University proudly on a page Navalny, he’s the leader of “the largest opposition organization in Russia» Description the [19] ) , and being named in the lists important among the “hundred intellectuals leading the world” by the American Journal of Farnpalsy [20] and the “hundred most influential persons in the world” by American magazine time [21] in the years 2010 to 2013 (when Organized several demonstrations in Russia against Putin. [22] Shows that Westerners, and especially the United States, have a special and dubious interest in Navalny. But this is not the only issue; A comparison between, on the one hand, the treatment of Westerners by Navalny, who is claimed to be a “whistleblower” against the “corruption of the Russian government,” and, on the other hand, the treatment of Westerners by whistleblowers who have exposed corruption and human rights abuses by Western governments themselves. The Western media’s account of Navalny’s story is probably not entirely true.
Amnesty International: Navalny is a prisoner of conscience in a report entitled “Amnesty International”. But Manning, Assange, or Mandela did not . ”He described the lesser-known aspects of Navalny’s identity and the difference between the media coverage and the approach of Western institutions and governments to him and to whistleblowers such as Julian Assange; A comparison shows that Navalny’s arrest case is probably a pretext for attacking Russia at the same time as the new US administration takes office. Meanwhile, a number of domestic media in Iran, following Western organizations, have described Navalny as a “prisoner of conscience” [24] . The following is an excerpt from a report by Mint Press.
Navalny comparison with Gandhi and Mandela
Alexei Navalny, a Russian politician, was arrested in mid-May after returning home and remains in custody. The 44-year-old lawyer’s arrest made headlines around the world shortly after arriving in Russia at a Moscow airport, and Western figures praised his courage. “The Navalny heroic struggle is no different from what [Mahatma] Gandhi [25] , [Martin Luther] King [26] , [Nelson] Mandela [ [ 27] And [Vaclav] Howell [28] fought for it. Although Navalny has not yet succeeded, there should be no doubt that his aspiration is good and justified. [29] . President Biden also [recently] put pressure on Putin over this issue [by telephone ] .
Navalny was in Germany for five months and was being treated for alleged poisoning, which he described as the work of government agents. This is despite the fact that a recent poll showed that only 15 percent of Russians are in agreement in this regard with Navalny [Navalny and half of Russians believe or do not poisoned or in the case of Western intelligence services of poisoning him manage] [31] . Russian prosecutors say the leader of the “Future Russian Party” has violated his conditional release after being suspended for embezzlement; Navalny and his allies say the allegations are politically motivated.
However, Navalny’s arrest sparked protests in more than 100 cities and towns in Russia, some of which were widespread. More than 3,700 people have reportedly been arrested as the risk of protests spreading to other cities increases; Including more than 1400 people in Moscow alone. Amnesty International [UK-based human rights watchdog] declared Navalny a “prisoner of conscience” [32] and said “[Russian] authorities should seek the immediate and unconditional release” of the well-known critic. The Kremlin.
Navalny is a “prisoner of conscience,” but not Mandela and Assange
However, “prisoner of conscience” as the human rights organization based in London, also referred to it on the opponents of the Western-like “Chelsea Manning [33] ” Exposing America’s Army] and “Julian Assange [34] ” whistleblower Australian founder of the website “WikiLeaks”] refused [35] . One of the representatives of Amnesty International, “Joe Amrsbrgr” Canadian Journalists, said [36] the organization as a “prisoner of conscience” about Manning recognizes that know not the disclosure army [America] data “adequately responsibly.” Disclosed or not; In addition, they are not sure whether the reason for Manning’s punishment is the disclosure of evidence of widespread human rights abuses.
Similarly, although Amnesty International has criticized Assange’s trial [37] (a trial that the organization was not even allowed to oversee [38] ), in 2019, it owed the legal team of WikiLeaks founder Assange’s case. That we are closely monitoring, but not actively working on. Amnesty International prisoner of conscience, Julian Assange knows [39] .
If we go back, we see that Amnesty International also refused to refer to probably the most famous political prisoner of the twentieth century, Nelson Mandela, as a “prisoner of conscience.” It justified its decision on the grounds that the leader of the African National Congress refused to condemn the armed struggle against apartheid and supported violence; However, Amnesty International and the decision was blamed for dozens of years [40] .
Navalny invites Muslims to kill
Alexei Navalny also supported the violence. In a political video [41] , [life] of the Muslims in the North Caucasus “cockroaches infestation” is described. “Insects can be killed with slippers, but in the case of human infections,” I recommend the whole thing, “Navalny says in the video. And then fires a shot with a pistol.
\Even more violent figures than Mandela or Navalny have received the title of “prisoner of conscience” from Amnesty International; Including “Leopoldo Lopez” Venezuelan politician [42] . Lopez led a US-backed coup in 2002 and launched a violent insurgency campaign in 2014 [43] that included bombing schools and universities, poisoning water sources, and shooting journalists. As a result of these operations, 43 people were killed and the Venezuelan government estimated that the country suffered $ 15 billion in damage [44] ; Approximately equivalent to the devastation caused by the 2020 Beirut bombing. [45] . “International justice is the only hope for victims of human rights abuses in Venezuela,” said Amnesty International’s Continental Director in the Americas in 2019. It is time to activate all existing mechanisms to prevent the continuation of crimes [46] “; And so he implicitly supported the US operation to overthrow the Venezuelan government.
The case of Navalny and Amnesty International’s relations with Western governments
Unfortunately, Amnesty International has a long history of working with Western intelligence agencies [particularly the United States and Britain] to support regime change in other countries. “Peter Bnnsvn” one of the founders of the organization, “Foreign Office colony” of Britain had a deep connection [47] . “Louis Kvtnr” Another FBI agent who was also founder of the organization of information in the murder, “Fred Hampton” from the “Black Panther Party [48] ” the rights of black Americans] were used. Kvtnr also secret activities against the “Patrice Lumumba” anti-imperialist prime minister of the Congo carried out the assassination as the work of the intelligence services of America and Belgium is considered [49] .
Amnesty International’s relationship with Western powers has continued to this day. For example, “Suzanne Nossel” public authority Americans with Hillary Clinton, Madeleine Albright, “Samantha Power [50] ” and “Susan Rice [51] ” close cooperation in the field of “interference [military] humanitarian”, the 2012 manager the executive branch of Amnesty International was in America [52] . Overall, while Amnesty International continues to do important work and provide vital reports on human rights abuses around the world, it does so while maintaining its very close relationship with Western governments, which are themselves the main perpetrators of human rights abuses in Are all over the world.These same restrictions [and strained relations] cause the organization to hastily defend the opposition in the enemy countries of the West, but ignore or simply ignore their counterparts in the West. The Navalny case is just the latest practical example of Amnesty International’s behavior.
