A Russian teenager was arrested on Friday, just hours after news broke of Alexei Navalny’s murder, over a molotov cocktail attack on a local office of dictator Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party the kid recorded on video while yelling “Freedom to Russia” and “It’s my choice” in a digitally altered voice, the Daily Beast reports citing Telegram channels which carried video of the attack.
The fire appears to have done little to no damage as it was confined to the roof of the building’s entrance. The kid has only been charged with “hooliganism” thus far, though that could change as the party itself said it is viewing the arson as an “act of terrorism” in response to Navalny’s murder.
