Imprisoned Russian opposition politician Aleksei Navalny has been placed in punitive solitary confinement for the seventh time since August for what he says are politically motivated reasons. In a statement that appeared on his Twitter account on November 1, Navalny said he was sent back to punitive confinement for 11 days for failing to properly sweep a yard and wrongly addressing a guard. Navalny's new punitive confinement comes six days after he served 14 days in the same confinement. To read the original story from RFE/RL's Russian Service, click here.
