REUTERS/Tatyana Makeyeva/File PhotoThe daughter of jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny said on Tuesday that the Russian authorities' efforts to silence critics like her father would not work, though she also expressed concern about "the fast downfall of democracy in my country".
Navalny, one of President Vladimir Putin's leading critics, says the charges against him were trumped up to thwart his opposition to the Kremlin, something it denies."For all these years, he has been showing the people in power, who are shamelessly abusing that power, that this is not going to work, that we are the majority," said Navalnaya, speaking from the United States at the event organised by the Geneva-based group UN Watch.
She spoke of her feelings of fear and helplessness as a child when her home was raided by the police and also of how she supported her father last year while he was recovering in hospital after a serious illness by watching Netflix with him.
