The European Union has announced sanctions against more than 30 individuals and organizations, including the heads of Russian prisons and judges, for their involvement in the death of Russian opposition leader Navalny.
Navalny, an opposition leader who continued to criticize Russia's Putin regime, died in February in a prison in Russia's Arctic Circle.
On the 22nd, the European Union announced sanctions against 33 individuals and two entities linked to Navalny's death.
The targets included the prison where Mr. Navalny died, its top officials, and the judge who sentenced Mr. Navalny to a long prison term last year. They are held responsible for the violation of human rights.
Those subject to sanctions will be prohibited from traveling to the EU and their assets within the EU will be frozen.
Regarding Navalny's death, Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service Naryshkin, a close aide to President Putin, told local media that it was a ``natural death.'' However, on the 22nd, High Representative Borrell, who is the EU's foreign minister, said in a statement that ``Mr. They were slowly killed by the regime. It clearly shows how much they value human life," he said, reiterating his belief that the Putin regime is responsible.
