I heard about Navalny when he was in Germany because it was newsworthy, and then when he decided to get back to Russia. I have never heard about him before.

Same for Protasevich - it is because his plane was diverted that it made it to the news.

The only time we hear about these people is when they do something visible. I am not saying that this is OK, it is just the sad reality of our world where one news pushes another.

Navalny could have had protested and there would be a chance he would be heard then. When he was in prison it was over until he dies.
