A former Russian spy who died in an apparent poisoning signed a statement on his deathbed blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin for his death, friends said Friday.
The statement, read to reporters outside the hospital where Alexander Litvinenko died late Thursday, accused the Russian leader of having “no respect for life, liberty or any civilized value.”
“You have shown yourself to be unworthy of your office, to be unworthy of the trust of civilized men and women,” Litvinenko said in a statement read by his friend Alex Goldfarb.
“You may succeed in silencing one man but the howl of protest from around the world will reverberate, Mr. Putin, in your ears for the rest of your life.”
Goldfarb said Litvinenko had dictated the statement before he lost consciousness on Tuesday, and signed it in the presence of his wife, Marina.
