Alexei Navalny makes poignant heart sign to wife and calls for protests as he is JAILED for two and a half years after telling court 'Putin the underpants poisoner' wanted to imprison him 'to scare millions' into compliance

Allies of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny called for immediate protests today after the Kremlin critic was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison for violating the terms of a 2014 conviction.

Following the sentence, Navalny's allies called for a protest in Moscow's Manezhnaya Square. Riot police have been photographed dragging protesters away from locations in the capital and St Petersburg.

According to protest monitors, at least 679 people have been detained across Russia today. Around half were seized this morning as they gathered near the Moscow court to support Navalny during the ruling. The rest were detained in this evening's demonstrations.

As his sentence was read, Navalny made a heart sign with his hands and smiled at his wife Yulia from behind the glass panel of his holding cell. He told Yulia, who was crying as the verdict was read out: 'Don't be sad, everything will be fine'.

The 44-year-old dissident was tried today for breaking the terms of a 2014 embezzlement conviction, for which he received a three-and-a-half year suspended sentence. The Moscow court today ordered Navalny serve his original sentence in a penal colony, minus the one year he already spent under house arrest.

As Navalny faced his first night in prison, Prime Minister Boris Johnson joined a chorus of world leaders calling for the Kremlin critic's release.

Funny how EL and the rest of the mouth breathers are all about Russia being relevant. Yet say very little about Biden being Chinas puppet. Russia was never a real threat.

Yep. 4 years you and the others screamed Russia, Russia, Russia and nothing ever came of it. They were never a threat. But hey now a legitimate, serious threat is front and center (China) and you guys are silent because of your support of a president who is in Chinas pocket.

I think most of us would if you have already wrongly been jailed and had them try to kill you. All for the crime of running against Putin.

The real question is how many of us would have returned to Russia?

Protests across Russia and they seem to be gaining steam. Hopefully 2021 is the year the world says goodbye to faux strongmen/dictators. America got the party started. Hopefully Russia keeps it going.

I’m confused. I thought this was a bad thing according to you? That’s what you said about the rioters at the Capitol. You and pretty much every other liberal said they were insurrectionists and dangerous but then you applaud overthrowing Putin? Why not applaud overthrowing his bitch Biden too?
