Alexei Navalny Health Concerns Prompt Russian Opposition Calls for Protest

 Alexei Navalny's who is currently in Russian prison has sparked mass protests across the country in the fight against Putin. As of now, his health and ultimately his life is at stake currently as the Russian government has been merciless in treating him. So far, 460,700 have already signed their willingness to protest on the same day Putin is going to publicly speak about Russia's national legislature. What's interesting here, is that the U.S. has stated that there will be consequences if Alexei dies in Russian prison. Mr. Navalny's team said he was slowly being killed, and does not know how much longer he will be able to withstand. After how the last protests ended up, this story will surely be one to follow up on.
