- I am deeply saddened and concerned about the reports
00:42
coming from Russia that Alexei Navalny is dead.
00:49
All the facts has to be established,
00:51
and Russia has serious questions to answer.
00:58
Alexei Navalny has been a strong voice for freedom,
01:02
for democracy for many years.
01:03
And NATO and NATO allies have called for his immediate release
01:11
for a long time.
01:12
And today, my thoughts go to his family and his loved ones.
01:20
And we remain committed to support everyone
01:26
that believes in democracy and freedom,
01:28
as Alexei Navalny has done for so many years.

We've heard the reports from Russia of Alexei Navalny's
02:53
death in prison.
02:55
For more than a decade, Russian government and Putin
03:02
have persecuted, poisoned, and imprisoned Alexei Navalny.
03:08
And now, the reports of his death.
03:11
First and foremost, if these reports are accurate,
03:14
our hearts go out to his wife and to his family.
03:20
Beyond that, his death in a Russian prison
03:26
and the fixation and fear of one man
03:32
only underscores the weakness and rot
03:35
at the heart of the system that Putin has built.
03:38
Russia's responsible for this.
03:41
We'll be talking to many other countries concerned
03:46
about Alexei Navalny, especially if these reports bear out
03:50
to be true.
03:51
Alex Navalny was an incredibly brave fighter
03:54
against corruption.
03:54
And he gave up everything in campaigning
03:57
for what he believed in.
03:58
And my heart goes out to his wife and to his family.
04:02
And we should be clear about what has happened here.
04:05
Putin's Russia imprisoned him, trumped up charges against him,
04:10
poisoned him, sent him to a Arctic penal colony,
04:14
and now he's tragically died.
04:16
And we should hold Putin accountable for this.
04:19
And no one should be in any doubt
04:21
about the dreadful nature of Putin's regime in Russia
04:24
after what has just happened.
04:26
Will there be consequences for Russia now?
04:28
Well, there should be consequences,
04:29
because there's no doubt in my mind,
04:31
this man was a brave fighter against corruption
04:34
for justice, for democracy.
04:36
And look what Putin's Russia did to him.
04:39
They trumped up charges, they imprisoned him,
04:41
they poisoned him, they sent him to an Arctic penal colony,
04:43
and he's died.
04:45
And that is because of the action
04:47
that Putin's Russia took.
04:48
No one can look at this regime now
04:49
and not recognise it for the truly dreadful nature
04:53
that it has.
