Putin critic Alexei Navalny will stay in jail after court appearance
Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny will remain in jail after a Russian court rejected an appeal against his detention, a decision he called predictable.
Key points:
- Alexei Navalny was detained on January 18 when he returned to Russia after being poisoned
- He was detained for 30 days, and a judge has ordered he will stay behind bars
- Protests are being organised across the country after thousands protested last weekend
Mr Navalny, a prominent critic of President Vladimir Putin, was remanded in custody for 30 days on January 18 after flying back to Russia for the first time since being poisoned with a military-grade nerve agent in August.
A court at the time ordered him detained for alleged parole violations, which he denied.
