Commenting on the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny who passed away on Friday, Bulgarian President Rumen Radev said on the X social network that the world has lost one of the most outstanding fighters for human rights and democracy. According to Radev, it is extremely important that all the circumstances surrounding Alexei Navalny's death in prison are clarified and made known to the international community.
"Homage to his memory!", the President added.
Navalny was serving a 19-year sentence for extremism. In December 2023, he was transferred to a maximum security penal colony north of the Polar Circle. In an official statement, the Federal Penitentiary Service said that Navalny felt unwell after a walk on Friday and lost consciousness. Medical staff was called, but were unable to resuscitate him.
