Russia jailed Alexei Navalny for two-and-a-half years in February for parole violations he said were trumped up
Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny is at increasing risk of kidney failure and his vision is deteriorating after more than two weeks on hunger strike, a medical trade union with ties to the opposition politician has said.
Mr Navalny, 44, a prominent opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin, started refusing food on 31 March in protest at what he said was the refusal of prison authorities to treat him properly for acute back and leg pain. His condition is indeed critical, said Alexandra Zakharova, a representative of the Doctors Alliance trade union - a group that Russian authorities regard as opposition activists.
