Has Putin REALLY Disappeared Navalny ? West Frets, But Is Also Hypocritical

Navalny is serving a 19-year prison sentence on extremism
charges, and a court this summer ordered to move him to
a harsher "special regime" prison colony.

"We still do not know where Alexei is," his spokeswoman
Kira Yarmysh said on social media.

She said his lawyers tried to visit Navalny at the IK-6
facility in the Vladimir region of Russia where he was
being held, and tried a "special regime" colony -- IK-7 --
in the same region.

"They have just been informed simultaneously in both colonies
that he is not there," Yarmysh said.

"They refuse to say where they have taken him," she said
in another post.

The United States said it was "deeply concerned" by reports
that Navalny's whereabouts were unknown and demanded he be
released immediately.

"He's now been gone for allegedly a week and neither his
representatives or his family know where he is," National
Security Council spokesman John Kirby said.

"He should be released immediately, he should never have
been jailed in the first place," Kirby told journalists

. . .

   Of course in some 'free' EU countries - including Germany
   and the UK - the State can/will/does imprison people for
   saying things the State does not want people hearing.
   I think Canada is now on that list too. Even the USA
   has "+Hate" additions to its laws. Just last week some
   dipshit got a HUGE sentence for what was basically just
   misdemeanor harassment and vandalism because they
   tacked "Hate Crime" onto the charges.

   SO, bad as it is in Russia, it's a bit hypocritical to
   sob that Navalny should "never have been jailed" when
   YOUR  OWN counties find ways - overt or underhanded -
   to do the same things for the same reasons as Putin.

   Musk echoed Voltaire correctly - you/States HAVE to put
   up with people saying stuff THEY don't like ... or soon
   what YOU say will also "offend" somebody and .....
