Ally of late Navalny accuses ‘Putin’s henchmen’ of attacking him in Lithuania, vows not to give up

Associated Press  

VILNIUS, Lithuania — A close associate of the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny accused Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “henchmen” on Wednesday of being behind a brutal attack that left him hospitalized. “Unfortunately Belarussian people can’t feel safe even being abroad,” the Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, who lives in exile in Lithuania, said. “I think the aim of such attacks is to paralyze people, to paralyze democratic movements.” Pavel Latushka, a former Belarusian culture minister who is now in exile in Warsaw and receives constant threats, said “it is evident that all boundaries have been breached, and crimes can be committed within the territories of European Union member countries.” The attack took place nearly a month after Navalny’s unexplained death in a remote Arctic penal colony. Last year, Volkov and his team launched a project called “Navalny’s Campaigning Machine,” aiming to contact as many Russians as possible, either by phone or online, seeking to turn them against Putin ahead of the March 15-17 presidential election.
