Just days after Vladimir Putin reportedly discussed opposition leader and activist Alexei Navalny’s treatment while under arrest in Russia with President Joe Biden, the Russian president reportedly doubled down on his efforts to crush his rivals and Russia’s burgeoning anti-government movement.
“A Russian court on Thursday rejected an appeal by opposition leader Alexei Navalny for his release from jail, while authorities detained several of his allies and warned social media companies about promoting more protests after tens of thousands rallied across the country last weekend demanding his freedom,” the Associated Press reported on Thursday.
