Alexey Navalny, the Russian opposition leader, is facing a corruption trial in Kirov. We consider this case to be political. The process could result in 10-year prison sentence and Navalny could become Prisoner of Conscience.
The only chance for Navalny to remain free is to run for Mayor of Moscow. The authorities will never cast into prison a mayoral contender.
According to the Russian legislation candidates must collect 110 signatures from municipal deputies.
But under the pressure of the authorities municipal deputies refuse from giving their signatures to Navalny.
This should be considered as a threat to Russian democracy, freedom of thought and oppositional movement.
Thus we demand to add to the Magnitsky List those Moscow municipal deputies who refuse from signing for Navalny.
