Russia’s refusal to investigate Navalny poisoning violates human rights, European court rules

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:31:06 GMT

Russia violated the rights of Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny by refusing to open a criminal investigation into his poisoning, the European Court of Human Rights ruled Tuesday.The court found that “the inquiry conducted by the Russian authorities had not been open to scrutiny and had made no allowance for the victim’s right to participate in the proceedings,” according to a press release.Russia’s probe “failed to explore the allegations of a possible political motive for the attempted murder, as well as possible involvement of State agents,” and therefore “could not be considered adequate,” the court added.A longtime critic and the main political opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Navalny fell ill on board a flight to Moscow from Tomsk, in Siberia, in August 2020.Navalny was later evacuated from Siberia to a Berlin hospital, where German military experts found he had been poisoned with a chemical nerve agent from the Novi...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:31:06 GMT

The Ravens’ offseason has been a sea of change. Quarterback Lamar Jackson got a new contract, and Baltimore got a new offensive coordinator and a cadre of new wide receivers.But there’s also a familiar face among all that restructuring.Tee Martin, who spent the past two seasons as Baltimore’s wide receivers coach, was named quarterbacks coach in February, taking over for James Urban.For Martin, it’s a return to his natural position — he quarterbacked Tennessee to a national championship in 1998. But with it also comes a certain degree of scrutiny as he tries to help Jackson return to the form that earned the quarterback the NFL Most Valuable Player award in 2019.“You’re coaching a quarterback who’s different than a lot of … other quarterbacks,” Martin said last week during voluntary organized team activities, which conclude this week in Owings Mills before mandatory minicamp begins next Tuesday. “[It’s] very sim...
