How it usually looks at first
after being placed in special detention, according to a spokesperson. Navalny, Russia's most outspoken opposition figure, was detained by police on Wednesday following a sweep of opposition candidates in the days leading up to anti-government demonstrations in the capital on Saturday.
Writing on Instagram, Navalny said he was detained as he left his apartment to go on a jog. "People are right when they say that sport is not always good for your health," he quipped.
"I have been detained and am now at a police station wearing shorts like a stupid man."
I like this guy. Hate for him to waste away on a bed now.
He was sentenced to 30 days in prison for allegedly violating the country's protest laws. Navalny had called for demonstrations over the weekend after the disqualification of opposition candidates for Russian municipal elections.
