Russia court upholds Navalny’s detention

A Russian court yesterday upheld a decision to detain top opposition leader Alexei Navalny for 30 days after he returned to Moscow this month following a near-fatal poisoning. Judge Musa Musayev of the Moscow Regional Court said a previous ruling by the Khimki City Court should "remain unchanged". During the hearing, Navalny slammed what he described as the "lawlessness" of the process.
