Baltic states seek restrictive measures against Russia following the arrest of Navajo

It's completely unacceptable that Russian authorities arrested Alexei Navalny. We are seeking his immediate release,” Prime Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis wrote on the social network.

“The EU must react immediately, and if it is not released, we should take into account the introduction of restrictive measures in response to this shameless act,” he added.

Russian police arrested Navajo after he arrived in Russia on Sunday evening from Germany, where he was receiving treatment after poisoning, his lawyer and Russia's Federal Prison Service (FSIN) confirmed.

According to the FSIN, Navalny will remain in custody “until a court decision” on his case.

Since Russian President Vladimir Putin's biggest rival announced Wednesday that he intends to return home, F The SIN has warned that it will arrest “for violating a prison sentence.

The FSIN says that Navalny did not respect his parole sentence from 2014 while in Germany, which forced him to report regularly to the prison administration at least twice a month.

Russian prison service accuses Navajo of failing to report last year about the penalty for suffering. Navajo indicated that he was in Germany for treatment at the time.

In August 2019, Navajo was sent to Germany after landing in a coma from Siberia.

Germany and other Western countries claim it was an attack by nervous agents, but Russian authorities deny any involvement in the issue.
