Alexei Navalny was sent to a penal institution for the 20th time

Opposition politician Alexei Navalny, who is serving time in correctional colony No. 6 in the Vladimir region, was again sent to a penal institution. This is already his twentieth room in the SHIZO. The last time he was released from SHIZO to a regular cell was yesterday.

The reasons for the new charge against Navalny are not specified. This time, he will spend four days in the penitentiary.

“Everything is stable. Yesterday at five o’clock in the evening I was released from the SHIZO, today at eight in the morning they were sent back to the SHIZO. Four days. Why so little? Because in exactly four days I have a court session of the appeals instance. And the colony will be able to say: “We we are not infringing his rights in any way, here he is not even in SHIZO”. So cute”, – wrote Navalny in social networks.

To date, Navalny has spent 220 days in prison.

• Alexey Navalny is serving a 9-year term on charges of fraud in a colony in the Vladimir region. At the beginning of August, the Moscow City Court handed down a new sentence to him – 19 years in a special regime colony on the charge of creating an extremist community. The new sentence has not yet entered into force. Prior to his appeal in a higher court, the court, not the colony, gives permission for meetings and phone calls. At the same time, according to the oppositionist, the leadership of IK-6 refused to implement the judge’s decision.
• Navalny calls his persecution political, the same opinion is held by human rights defenders and representatives of Western countries.
• The penitentiary is distinguished by particularly harsh conditions of detention. Navalny described it as a cell measuring two by three meters, where he has to sit on an iron stool. He also said that there is boiling water and one book in the SHIZO, compared to an ordinary cell, where there is “coffee and two books.”
