Thousands of people have been arrested across the country, as police cracked down on what they say were illegal demonstrations.
In Moscow, more than 800 people are still being held in vastly overcrowded cells and facilities. A video taken by one detainee shows 28 men crammed inside a holding cell intended for eight inmates, with no mattresses on the cots and a filthy pit latrine-like toilet.
More than 11,000 protesters were reportedly detained across the country during two weekends of pro-Navalny rallies last month and in Moscow and St. Petersburg last week after he was ordered to serve nearly three years in prison.

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny on Monday called for people to take to the streets to protest after his arrest.
In a video statement released on YouTube, Navalny said: “What is this toad (Vladimir Putin) most afraid of? What are these bunker thieves most afraid of? You know it perfectly, (they are afraid of) people taking to the streets.”
“That’s why don’t be afraid, take [to] the streets. Not for me, for yourselves and your future,” he added.
