(MOSCOW) People in dozens of Russian cities joined protests in support of the jailed opposition leader Alexey Navalny, responding to calls from Navalny’s allies who have said he is dangerously ill in prison while on a hunger strike.
Protests took place in most cities in Russia, from Vladivostok in the far east to Moscow and St. Petersburg, with crowds ranging from a few dozen to thousands and people turning out despite warnings from authorities that they would face arrest. People gathered in central squares or marched, chanting “Freedom to Navalny.” In many places, they were confronted by police, who arrested several hundred people but generally did not move to aggressively disperse the protests.

Alexei Navalny s personal doctors on Thursday urged him to immediately call off his hunger strike as the jailed Kremlin critic said he was full of pride and hope after nationwide protests.
Thousands of Russians took to the streets in dozens of cities across the country on Wednesday evening, after the West warned the Kremlin that it would face consequences in the event of Navalny s death.
President Vladimir Putin s best-known critic barely survived a poisoning with the Novichok nerve agent in August, and his health has been failing since he declared a hunger strike on March 31 to demand proper medical care for a range of ailments, including back pain and numbness in his limbs.
