MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's leading opposition figure, Alexei Navalny, faces the prospect of new criminal charges after in effect being forced to break the rules of the maximum security penal colony where he is being held, one of his lawyers said on Tuesday.
Vadim Kobzev said on Twitter that a foul-smelling inmate with poor hygiene had been placed in Navalny's cell on Monday in a "provocation" while he was doing prison labour, and that Navalny had had no choice on returning but to drag him out.
