The opposition politician considers the prosecution of pro -Russian militants to be political. In his opinion, all the crimes of Gorkin should be carefully investigated and a fair judgment. Russian oppositionist Alexei Navalny, who is in prison, called the recently arrested terrorist in Moscow, Igor Girkin-St. Stlkov's political prisoner. Navalny reported this in his Twitter. "Igor Strelkov was detained illegally.

As long as he remains in custody on this meaningless and apparently politically motivated prosecution, he is a political prisoner," Navalny wrote. The oppositionist also recalled that previously Strelkov was convicted of the Netherlands court in a process that, in his opinion, corresponds to the principle of court independence. He believes that the fact of murder of 298 Boeing passengers (the disaster of the MN-17 flight over Donetsk-ed.

) Should be investigated by Russia, and all the guilty-to bear a fair punishment. Navalny noted that Strelkov himself does not deny his participation in hostilities in Ukraine in indefinite status. However, according to the oppositionist, "these facts must be investigated and a fair judgment. " We will remind, on July 21, Russian law enforcement officers, according to the statement of the expectorant of the PEC "Wagner" detained the terrorist Igor Strelkov-Girkin.

The court put forward the prosecution under Article 282 of the Criminal Code (extremism). In addition, on the same day in Russia, law enforcement officers detained Pavel Gubarev, who in 2014 declared himself a "people's governor" of Donetsk region. Gubareva was arrested after a single picket under a court building in Moscow, where he arrived to support Gorkin. The arrests of terrorists scared Russian collaborators in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
