Putin critic Navalny says he’s in punishment cell at Russian Arctic prison

Al Jazeera  

‘Polar Wolf’ colony is among the harshest in Russia’s prison system, whose inmates have been convicted for grave crimes. Jailed Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny says he has been isolated in a small punishment cell for an alleged minor breach at a remote prison colony north of the Arctic Circle. “I got seven days in SHIZO,” Navalny said, referring to the punishment cell where he has to serve a week. The “special regime” or “Polar Wolf” colony is among the harshest in Russia’s prison system, located in a place with severe winters. In his typical sardonic tone, Navalny said, the temperature of his prison yard walks had “never been colder” than -32 degrees Celsius, adding that “even at that temperature you can walk for more than half an hour, but only if you have time to grow a new nose, ears, and fingers”.
