The health condition of Aleksei Navalny, Russian opposition leader and prisoner of conscience, raises serious concerns. The Russian authorities’ failure to provide him with adequate healthcare, his continued harassment and ill-treatment in prison, and their recent use of force against him gravely violate his human rights and Russia’s international obligations. Amnesty International demands the immediate and unconditional release of Aleksei Navalny and, pending it, that Russian authorities ensure that his life, health and safety are protected, and that his ongoing and further persecution stops.
