Nabalni, who lost the sense of one leg at all… “I only gave you two painkillers.”

Opposition activist Alexey Navalni, 44, who is imprisoned in a Russian prison, has been unable to move due to a sudden deterioration in health, but the lawyers argued that he is not receiving adequate treatment. Navalni has been imprisoned in the second prison (IK-2) in Parklov city, Russia since last February.

According to the Reuters news agency on the 24th (local time), the lawyers said that the prison side suddenly banned interviews in a situation where Navalni’s health deteriorated.

According to the lawyers, Navalni complained of severe back pain during an interview last week. It is explained that one leg is in a state of being unable to stand up or walk because there is no sense at all. In addition, he complained of pain to the prison, but he said that all he had prescribed two pills of iburopen, an anti-inflammatory pain reliever, from a neurologist.

Attorney Olga Mikhail Lova said in an interview with Reuters on the same day, “The interview scheduled for the 24th was canceled without prior notice, and all applications for interviews have been denied afterwards.” “This is the first time that the interview has been denied,” said lawyer Vadim Kobzeb, who has been interviewed daily since Navalni was detained in the camp. “The prison is trying to hide Navalni’s health condition.”

Leonid Volkov, an aide of Navalni, also told Facebook that “we are not sure where Navalni is now,” and “it is very likely that it was moved to the prison infirmary.”

Maria Pevchik, head of the Navalni Anti-Corruption Foundation’s investigation headquarters, also demanded that the interview should be allowed immediately, saying, “Health is rapidly deteriorating and life is considered dangerous. However, the prisons responded only as “security measures” to the reason for the ban on interviews, Reuters reported.

Navalni was sentenced to probation in 2014 for fraud. However, in February, the court canceled the ruling, alleging that he violated his obligations under probation, and was sentenced to jail. It was just after returning home after being treated in Germany after being subjected to poison terror in August of last year. Navalni has raised suspicions that President Vladimir Putin is involved in the poison terrorism.

On the 15th, Navalni complained of the pain of her imprisonment through social media (SNS). By revealing photos of her shaved figure, she compared her life in prison to George Orwell’s novel ‘1984’.

“There are cameras everywhere and they are monitored, and even minor rule violations are reported immediately,” he wrote. “There are days when sleeping prisoners are awakened every hour.”

At the same time, he expressed that he seemed to experience the novel 1984 that depicts a future dystopian society monitoring every step of the way.

The second prison, where Navalni was imprisoned, is considered one of the’four worst prisons in Russia’. Although political prisoners are mainly held, suspicions have been raised of mentally and physically abusing the inmates.

In an interview with CNN on the 16th, Konstantin Kotov, a Russian opposition activist who was imprisoned here for more than a year, introduced the prison as “a place that is completely disconnected from the outside world without freedom” and as “a place that does not treat inmates as humans.”

He testified that he was abused, such as being unable to communicate with other prisoners in prison and standing from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. They also claimed that they were also mentally harassed, forcing them to memorize the names of prison staff.
