Starting live reporting from #Russia where the protests start in the Far East. This will be a long thread. There are 11 time zones in Russia. 🧵 #31января #Navalny #navalnyprotests #RussianProtests #PutinsPalace #Навальный t.me/teamnavalny/64…
142 cities are planning to step out in the streets. During the last week, #Putin/#Kremlin arrested and sentenced to home arrest w/o Internet/communication dozens of #Navalny coordinators/activists. Details 👇
Arrests last week:
#Putin is scared & tries to suppress #RussiaProtests tomorrow. All coordinators/leaders/#Navalny allies sentenced to home arrest with no Internet/zero contacts; chipped. Moscow downtown closed. Intimidation, violence, arrests all over #Russia. A short 🧵
#Navalny's brother Oleg, allies @SobolLubov, @DrAnastasy , @all_mary Oleg Stepanov are under home arrest till March 23, w/o Internet, for "violation of sanitary requirements." Coordinators in other cities arrested. The Kremlin is striking the leadership.
Tomorrow, on the day of the planned protest, Moscow police are closing downtown (7 metro stops, shops/ cafes/restaurants closed).
🛑In #Russia, past 24 hrs. Thread: #Putin's terror. Arrests, beatings, tortures, court hearings, & sentences w/o the accused & defenders, raids, intimidation. The court turns down the appeal for #Navalny. Navalny says, "We will not be intimidated." Unprecedented. Please RT. 👇🏽 🛑
Today, the court in the Moscow region recognized the detention of #AlexeyNavalny for 30 days as legal. Earlier, the court sentenced Navalny to 30 days stay in prison.
Journalists were not allowed into the courtroom but could watch the broadcast on the screen in the conference room. Navalny found out his apartment was searched, his brother was arrested for violation of COVID sanitation rules, the sound was turned off.
Navalny's ally, Dr. Zakharova plays piano as her apartment is being raided by Russian police. Within the last few hours, dozens of activists, journalists, & protestors were arrested and their residences and offices searched. Meanwhile, Putin is speaking in Davos. #Navalny #Russia
"These are not arrests but kidnapping. They have no legal basis for arrests. They are seizing everything to find the circle of their friends and supporters in order to follow and use them to stop the protests," a source from St.Petersburg is telling me now. #Navalny #Russia
This is the door to Navalny's apartment (from inside) with his wife Julia inside. The police is banging on the door trying to break in.
Broad, philosophical thread about how a hybrid authoritarian regime like Russia uses repression when citizens protest.
On this day of protests for #Navalny across Russia.

First of all, the defining ethical feature of the modern world is that each human life has equal moral worth.
Only the most extreme regimes can disregard - without consequences - that their citizens are cognisant of this.

In Belarus, escalating violence against protestors caused the regime more damage than it had hoped.
Unlike Belarus, where the special police numbers a couple of thousand, the Russian special police can handle vast numbers of protestors.
