The detention of opposition leader Alexei Navalny on his return to Moscow is stirring more tension between Moscow and the West

MOSCOW—Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny urged supporters to take to the streets as he was ordered to be held in pretrial custody for 30 days, while Russia’s foreign ministry warned Western countries not to interfere in a case that is already worsening tensions with the U.S. and Europe.

Mr. Navalny was brought before a judge Monday, the day after he was detained on arrival at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport. It was the first time he had tried tosince a near-fatal poison attack last August that left him in a coma and undergoing treatment in Germany. He was remanded in custody until Feb. 15, and now faces a court decision that could turn a suspended sentence he received for an embezzlement case in 2014 into a real prison term. Authorities say he violated the terms of his parole while he was abroad recovering from August’s attack.

The European Court of Human Rights said in 2018 that the original case was politically motivated and those charges are trumped up. In addition, Russian prosecutors opened a criminal investigation into him for allegedly siphoning donations to his Anti-Corruption Foundation. Mr. Navalny says both legal moves were politically motivated and meant to scare him away from returning to Russia. In short videos from the courtroom distributed among supporters, Mr. Navalny, 44 years old, said his detention showed that Mr. Putin fears his opposition movement, which will seek to make gains in a parliamentary election in September. He also called on supporters to hold public protests in a show of force.

Navalny is fighting with a pen. His opponent is using a club. Foolhardy man to get into such a fight.

Fíjate, son cuatro los fascistas que protestan en Rusia y el diario de Wall Street los saca en portada......

Maybe Navalny doesn’t have much support from Russians as they dislike of being puppet of West and no care for Russians who are suffering from corona virus and only Putin is there not this Navalny ran away to Europe.

El fascista Navalny es el Guaidó de Rusia......el envenenadito.

But he only get lukewarm support from Russian as majority of Russian are behind Putin and Putin has huge support from faithful Russians who dislike the West.

that was what was needed...

This man clearly got what Navalny said. Do not be scared. If we unite no one can stop us.

Is it?

Because Navalny is use by the west.
