Netherlands summons Russian ambassador over Navalny’s death

The Netherlands summons Russia’s ambassador following the death of Russian opposition leader Navalny in prison

The Netherlands summoned Tuesday Russia’s Ambassador to The Hague following the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in prison.

The move reflects the international concern surrounding Navalny’s demise in prison. Hanke Bruins Slot, minister of foreign affairs for the provisional government in the Netherlands, conveyed his distress on his social media account. 

In the post, he expressed the gravity of Navalny paying the highest price in his quest for a “free and democratic” Russia.

The Netherlands’ decision to summon the Russian Ambassador underscores the gravity of Navalny’s death and the importance of seeking clarity on the circumstances leading to it. 

This diplomatic move aligns with global calls for an independent and thorough investigation into Navalny’s death, demanding accountability for any wrongdoing. 

The unfolding situation between Russia and the Netherlands further accentuates the complexities of managing international relations amid human rights concerns and geopolitical dynamics.
