In in his Telegram channel, the oppositionist claims that the colony’s leadership recognized him as a “malicious violator” and transferred him to strict conditions of detention Alexey Navalny (on the screen) Opposition leader Alexei Navalny was sent to a penal isolation cell (SHIZO) in the colony. He announced this in his Telegram channel. Since mid-August, he has already been to the detention center three times: the first time because of the unbuttoned top button of his robe, the second because he did not quickly fulfill the requirement to put his hands behind his back when returning from the isolation ward, and the third time because he introduced himself incorrectly. According to Navalny, the prison authorities promised him after the first time that the isolation ward could become his “permanent residence”. Now Navalny did not specify the official reason for his imprisonment in the SHIZO, he will spend 15 days there. The oppositionist also said that he was recognized as a “malicious violator”. “Strict conditions of detention” mean that the prisoner is not kept in a barrack, but in a lockable cell. And this is even less money that can be spent per month, even fewer parcels and transfers and even fewer dates per year,” said Navalny’s press secretary Kira Yarmysh.
Navalny has been in the colony since the winter of 2021: then the court appointed him a real term in the case of “Yves Rocher” instead of a conditional one, since he did not come to register with the FSIN authorities, including while he was being treated for the effects of poisoning in Berlin. The oppositionist was serving his sentence in a general regime colony in Pokrov, Vladimir region, and had to go on trialfreedom in July-August 2023, but this summer the verdict in another case on fraud came into force, Navalny was sentenced to nine years in a high-security colony and transferred to the appropriate correctional institution in Melekhovo (also in the Vladimir region).
