Alexei Navalny: Russian opposition released from jail

SANAA, Oct. 14 (YPA) – Russian authorities on Sunday released Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny after spending 20 days in jail for organizing an illegal protest last month.

Navalny has been detained since 24 September when he ended his 30-day detention for “planning an unauthorized demonstration” in January.

Navalny has staged major demonstrations in Russia in recent years, and his anti-corruption speech is particularly popular among young people who follow his e-channels and blogs.
