Well-known Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny says he has been placed in a cramped solitary cell for the twentieth time. “Yesterday at five in the evening I was released from the penal isolation center, and since this morning at eight o’clock I have been back in it,” Navalny told his team via social networks.
This time the punishment is scheduled for four days. According to a post by Navalny on “So the colony can say, ‘We’re not violating his rights, he’s not even in solitary confinement.’ So nice of them,” he speculates in the post.

The appeal procedure against the verdict starts on September 26. Internationally, Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin’s best-known opponent is considered a political prisoner.
