“Our platform’s defense mechanisms against manipulation and spam have incorrectly flagged @yulia_navalnaya for violating our rules,” X’s secure account said. I have written In Tuesday’s post. “Once we become aware of the error, we plan to unsuspend the account and update our defense efforts.”
Navalnaya’s account was suspended a day after she vowed to continue her husband’s fight against corruption in Russia.
“By killing Alexei, Putin killed half of me, half of my heart and soul. But I still have the other half, and that tells me that I have no right to give up.” Navalnaya said, according to Google Translate of the Russian transcript.
“I will continue the work of Mr. Alexei Navalny. Continue to fight for our country. And stand next to me. The sadness and endless pain that envelops us and does not let go. Don’t just share. Share my anger. Rage and fury at those who dared to kill our future.”
According to Russian independent media outlet Media Zona, Navalyana’s account was restored about 30 minutes after it was suspended.
The anti-corruption foundation founded by Navalny questioned his suspension on Tuesday morning.
“Hey @elonmusk! Please explain exactly which rule @yulia_navalnaya broke,” the post reads.
Russia’s Federal Prison Service said on Friday that the opposition leader, who is serving a 19-year sentence for extremism, felt unwell after taking a walk and lost consciousness.
In remarks from the White House on Friday, President Biden blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for Navalny’s death.
“If the reports of his death are true, there is no reason to believe otherwise. Russian authorities will tell their own story,” Biden said.
“But make no mistake: President Putin is responsible for Mr. Navalny’s death. President Putin is responsible. What happened to Mr. Navalny is further proof of Mr. Putin’s brutality. Who? Don’t be fooled,” he continued.
