Navalny looked healthy when he appeared by video
for a courtroom appeal on Thursday. Speaking from prison, Navalny
complained about the frequent fines he received while in a punitive cell
and asked the judge to send him some money “as my own is running out
thanks to your decisions”. ...
In 2020, Navalny fell into a coma after a suspected poisoning using novichok by Russia’s FSB security service and was evacuated to Germany for treatment. He recovered and returned to Russia in January 2021, where he was arrested on a parole violation charge and sentenced to his first of several jail terms that would total more than 30 years behind bars.
