Russian Greens blast Jill Stein’s silence on Putin’s human rights abuses [View all]
Russian Greens blast Jill Stein’s silence on Putin’s human rights abuses9/6/16 7:18pm by John Aravosis
Two representatives of the Russian Green Party eviscerated American Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein today for her cozy relationship with Russian president Vladimir Putin.
The Russian Greens said Stein was a willing accomplice of Putin’s human rights abuses against the LGBT community, environmentalists, artists, journalists and political dissidents:
“By silencing Putin’s crimes you are silencing our struggle. By shaking his hand and failing to criticize his regime you are becoming his accomplice. By forgetting what international solidarity means you are insulting the Russian environmental movement.”
