Russian police forcefully detain activists supporting Putin foe Navalny in Moscow
Russian police forcefully detain activists supporting Putin foe Navalny in Moscow. Risking their own prison terms, some Navalny (inset) supporters in Russia marked his birthday by holding individual pickets, while others painted graffiti.
Police quickly detained many for questioning, and officers maintained a raised presence in downtown Moscow and moved quickly to round up those who tried to stage individual pickets on Pushkin Square (right) and elsewhere in the capital.
Mr Navalny's supporters also demonstrated in St Petersburg and other Russian cities, holding one-person pickets and leaving signs and graffiti in Mr Navalny's support, wishing him 'Happy Birthday Alexei' (top right) or demanding 'Freedom for Alexei Navalny' (bottom right).
Pro-Navalny demonstrations were held in several European cities, with many holding 'Free Navalny' posters (pictured left: activists in Georgia). Navalny's team says he has been harassed in prison and kept in a 'punishment cell' for minor transgressions. His supporters say the authorities are trying to crush his morale.
The arch-foe of Russian President Vladimir Putin said he woke up in a punishment cell on his 47th birthday, adding in a message published on social media that it was his 16th such stint.
