Bono chants Alexei Navalny's name in front of thousands at U2 Las Vegas concert

U2 frontman Bono paid tribute to Russian opposition leader Alexei Nalvany during the band’s concert in Las Vegas.
The 60-year-old urged the Las Vegas Sphere crowd to join him in chanting Nalvany’s name on Saturday (17 February), following his death.
The 47-year-old, a fierce critic of Russian president Vladimir Putin, died in a Siberian prison after falling unwell last week, Russian prison authorities said.
Addressing concert-goers on Saturday, Bonon said: “Apparently Putin would never, ever say his name. So I thought tonight, the people who believe in freedom must say his name. Not just remember it, but say it.”

    @sebastianag2966 Navalny mysteriously dies after Putin's interview with Western countries. In conjunction with the tribunal to extradite Assange to the USA. It all seems too strange to me. And then you ask me why I'm talking about Assange under this video. This is precisely the point. The main newspapers and singers have shouted the name of a free Assange too little. Journalist guilty of making public documents and videos of atrocities committed by the US and its allies in the wars of recent years. In an ideal world she would have won the Pulizer Prize but unfortunately we are not in that kind of world. I don't know what part of the world you come from but this European Union smells like a rotten mask. Incapable of preventing the attack on Libya way back in 2011 with the destabilization of North Africa, of preventing a war escalation in Ukraine but above all of not being able to express its indignation at the massacre that is taking place in Gaza. This makes me understand that Europe is worth nothing and I regret being part of it.

Yes Navalny showed incredible bravery, yes he has inspired the opposition in Russia, but would it really be better if he was in power? Ukraine would be safe...

    - Alexei Navalny's political activities were funded by the US government through the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) as part of an effort to repeat US-backed 2014 Ukraine regime change inside Russia itself; - The Western media had previously (and reluctantly) revealed Navalny as far-right, racist, and xenophobic despite efforts to pass him off as a progressive pro-democracy activist; - US government-funded polling agencies consistently found Alexei Navalny extremely unpopular in Russia with single digit approval ratings; - After an alleged 2020 "Novichok" poisoning, Navalny's popularity "surged" to 20% as the Western media accused Moscow of being behind the incident; - The US is now exploiting the death of Navalny to advance its anti-Russia policy while the Western media collective omits all relevant context regarding Navalny's background and US funding;
