While on a flight in 2020, Russian opposition leader and anti-corruption activist Alexei Navalny was poisoned by the criminal Putin regime. A year later, Navalny returned to his homeland and remained arbitrarily detained by The Kremlin ever since. Earlier today, he was pronounced dead. 

Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Vice Chairman Marco Rubio (R-FL) released the following statement follow the death of Russian opposition leader and anti-corruption activist Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison:

• “Navalny’s tragic death at the hands of the Putin bloodthirsty regime is a stark reminder that Putin and his thugs will stop at nothing to silence dissent or those who might expose the level of corruption in the Kremlin. Two years ago, I had the honor of meeting with Leonid Volkov, Navalny’s then chief of staff, and it was clear that the Russian people’s aspirations for a nation free of authoritarianism is alive and well.
• “We must continue to stand with those brave Russians who dare to speak out and continue to press for the release of political prisoners such as Vladimir Kara-Murza.”
