The press secretary of imprisoned Russian opposition politician Aleksei Navalny said on February 14 that the outspoken Kremlin critic was again placed in a punitive solitary confinement cell for unspecified reasons just three days after he served a previous 10-day solitary confinement term. According to Kira Yarmysh, Navalny's current solitary term is 15 days. It is the 27th time Navalny has been placed in punitive solitary confinement since his incarceration more than three years ago. Including this term, Navalny will have spent 308 days in punitive solitary confinement over the period of his current sentence.
