A joint statement by Vienna Forum for Democracy and Human Rights and Reporters Without Borders (RSF) Austria
Quote: “When a poison attack on Alexei Navalny, most probably commissioned by Putin, failed and he bravely returned to Russia, Putin let him – who vehemently opposed Putin’s unjust regime, advocated for democracy and the rule of law and criticised the war he intitated against Ukraine – die in a brutal “Gulag Archipelago” that mocked all human rights principles, calling him a “blogger” with derisive amusement.“
