Russian opposition leader Navajo released from prison

Navalny was in prison since 24 September, when he completed the first 30-day ban by authorities on planning a protest in January.

Navajo, 42, has long been the most prominent face of the Russian opposition to President Vladimir Putin.

He has called for nationwide protests against the government's plans to raise the retirement age in Russia, a distasteful reform that has raised discontent with authorities.

Navajo has named Putin's party “as the seat of traitors and thieves”, has accused the president's system of, as it has said, “of absorption of blood from Russia” and has pledged the destruction of the built “feulal”. / REL
