Here's what I referenced above:Criticizing the ruler, whether Putin, Biden or any other equally wicked person, is a risky move for a journalist.
Well, Lira did a LOT more than simply criticize Zelensky and the Ukrainian government. He got caught feeding intelligence info to the Russians, and doxxed members of not only the Ukrainian military but also other members of the press so that they could be targeted and killed. He then got picked up when he got caught trying skip bail.
So there is no "what about" here. Navalny was a real political prisoner, in the usual historic sense, in that Putin not only tried to poison and kill him once before, but then locked him up for years, sent him to the Arctic when that didn't work either, and now has obviously ordered his murder to remove him as a threat to his regime.
