Ex political prisoner Liliya #Chanysheva's first message post exchange.

Liliya is an experienced activist and a remarkably courageous and principled politician. She represents the hope for a better future for Russia—so glad she is not broken and will continue her important work. https://twitter.com/novayagazeta_en/status/1820795294390321663?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Disappearance of high-profile political prisoners in Russia's penitentiary system is a pattern. #Navalny was made disappear before he was murdered. #KaraMurza vanished for a week to resurface in a hospital. Now it's #Chanysheva. The regime thus signals full control over its foes. https://twitter.com/novayagazeta_en/status/1817863369589666170?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

#Navalny was buried last Friday. But the crackdown on his team and supporters - even those already in prison - continues unabated.

Lilia #Chanysheva (Ufa), one of the many victims of political persecution as a crime against humanity in Russia, is now facing a longer sentence. https://twitter.com/novayagazeta_en/status/1764612322868244511?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
