But unless you have any trust in Amnesty, which I do, but most of this country don't, then its a meaningless label, seeing its a label purely created by Amnesty.It's relevant because a poster a couple of pages back commented on the removal of his prisoner of conscience status. The link explains that that status has been restored.
I'm sure, well I know, Amnesty also have a lot to say about the plight of the Palestinians, the Iraq war, US & UK extraordinary rendition, US war crimes in Afghnistan and Iraq (which deserve the death penalty for an aussie journalist for exposing - I bet Nixon wished he was President now, instead of when journos could freely investigate and report on govt corruption), the overthrowing of a Libyan govt by militarily supporting islamic extremists who then governed the country, Yemen and far far more. So either all Amnesty views are relevant. Or none are relevant.
But but Navalny. Of all the carnage in the world, namely the Middle East yet it is he who is BIG news. And deserves a thread because.........? Who cares. The huge mistreatment of some attention seeking loon on CIA's payroll, who seems to want to die a martyr for no actual cause, isn't required to already confirm that we know Putin and Russia are a far-right nationalist, racist, homophobic, authoritarian nutcase regime and country. A utopia-like vision to Farage, kippers and some on the right in this country. Yet english/british exceptionalism dictates that we continue as always to turn a blind eye to our own recent actions, along with the growth of our far right, but instead one CIA associate in Russia deserves frontpage billing regularly in british MSM. "What's that, we've helped cause the world biggest humanitarian crisis in Yemem. But look over there, Putin poisoned someone so badly they survived, He's REALLY bad". Which he probably is, but he's currently not destroying innocent lives in Yemen
