Navalny's arrest sparked sharp condemnation from the leaders of Western countries who echoed calls from the Russian opposition for his release.
Navalny, in a message on Instagram via his lawyer, said he wanted people to know he was in good physical and mental health. He has a strong online presence and publishes investigations into the wealth of Russia's political elites on his YouTube channel with five million subscribers. Russia's media watchdog warned online platforms against encouraging minors to participate in the rallies or risk hefty fines.
The Russian Investigative Committee, which probes major crimes, said on Friday it launched a criminal probe into the calls for unauthorised protests.Navalny returned to Russia last week after five months in Germany, where he was recovering from a poisoning attack that he says was ordered by President Vladimir Putin.
Yes, Russia should learn from US how to acting against protestors..Shoot them and forget it..!
