It notes that recently, old videos and publications in which Navalny "makes contradictory statements" have begun to actively spread on social networks.
“In light of recent information, Amnesty International can no longer consider Alexei Navalny a prisoner of conscience, given the fact that he promoted violence and discrimination and did not abandon such statements,” the letter, a screenshot of which the journalist posted on Twitter.
In June, a member of the Russian Presidential Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights, human rights activist and former member of the Presidium of the Russian Jewish Congress, Alexander Brod, commented to RT on the discovery of an old entry by Alexei Navalny in Live Journal.
We are talking about a previously found record dated 2009 and dedicated to the release of the film "Taras Bulba".
In it, Navalny calls the Jews "Jews" and suggests "to warm them up with the guilds."
According to Leonid Slutsky, chairman of the State Duma's international affairs committee, there should be no place for any form of xenophobia, nationalism, or racial discrimination in the world that has survived the horrors of World War II.
He noted that the words of Navalny are, in fact, a direct violation of human rights, and "purely humanly - disgusting and indecent."
