According to his own statements, Russian anti-Kremlin adversary Alexei Navalny has been in solitary confinement in his prison camp for the fourth time in a row. This time he had to spend 15 days in solitary confinement, the opposition politician announced on his Twitter channel on Wednesday.
“Wow, I just hit the jackpot. As soon as I got out of the SHU, they sent me back for another 15 days and labeled me a ‘perpetual offender’,” the tweet reads (see below).
In addition, the judiciary has designated him as a repeat offender for alleged violations of the camp rules. That means that Navalny will receive even less money for forced labor in the camp and even fewer packages, says spokeswoman Kira Jarmysch. Visits from outside are also further limited. Navalny wrote that a meeting with his family that had been scheduled for four months had been postponed.
Due to alleged fraud, Navalny is in penal colony 6 in Melekhovo, about 260 kilometers northeast of Moscow – under particularly harsh prison conditions. In May, a court upheld the nine-year sentence.
He is internationally regarded as a political prisoner. Navalny had recovered from a poison attack in Germany in August 2020, but then voluntarily returned to Russia.
