Britain imposes sanctions on the head of Russia’s IK-3 prison camp, where Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny died. The head of the ‘Arctic Wolf’ camp outside the Arctic Circle, Vadim Kalinin, and five other officers have been banned from entering the UK. All property in Britain will be frozen, the Foreign Office in London announced on Wednesday.
“Those responsible for Navalny’s brutal treatment should be under no illusions: we will hold them to account,” British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said.
The authority emphasized that Navalny was “imprisoned and murdered” in the camp. Kalinin led the “brutal” prison camp that held Navalny in solitary confinement for up to two weeks at a time. The opposition politician’s condition steadily deteriorated during his three years in prison. Navalny suffered from the denial of medical treatment. He was also forced to walk in the courtyard in temperatures of minus 32 degrees Celsius.
Cameron wants to confront Lavrov with aggression
Britain called on Russia to immediately return Navalny’s body to his relatives. Cameron said he would directly address Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov about Russian aggression and its global impact at the G20 foreign ministers’ meeting in Brazil the same day.
Navalny died on Friday in Hofgang
According to authorities, 47-year-old Navalny collapsed while walking through the prison camp last Friday. Attempts to revive prison guards were in vain, it was said. Navalny was weakened by a poison attack in 2020 and repeated solitary confinement in the camp. Britain had already imposed sanctions on several Russian citizens over the attack.
