Yulia Navalnaya and other prominent opposition activists to address MEPs on 5 June in Brussels.
The European Parliament will host a significant meeting on 5 June, featuring prominent members of Russia's opposition.
The event is organized by the Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, specifically its Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Delegation to the EU-Russia Parliamentary Cooperation Committee.
Among the speakers is Yulia Navalnaya, a political activist and the wife of
Alexei Navalny, a notable figure in the Russian opposition who was awarded the Sakharov Prize posthumously.
Also addressing the parliamentarians will be Vladimir Kara-Murza, a Russian-British political activist and journalist who was previously imprisoned, as well as opposition politician Ilya Yashin, known for his outspoken criticism of the Russian government.
The meeting is scheduled to take place from 09:00 to 10:00 CEST in Room 4Q2 of the ANTALL building in Brussels.
The opportunity for MEPs to engage with these leaders emphasizes the continuing focus of the European Union on human rights and political freedoms in Russia.
This event reflects ongoing concerns regarding the political climate in Russia, where dissenting voices face significant risks.
The European Parliament has been an advocate for democratic principles and human rights, and invitations to opposition figures highlight its commitment to addressing these issues on a global stage.
Attendance will include MEPs keen to discuss the political situation in Russia and support measures aimed at improving human rights conditions within the country.
The proceedings of this meeting will be accessible via live broadcast.
