Opposition leader Navalny was arrested upon his return to Russia

The leader of the Russian opposition, Alexei Navalny, has been arrested by the police while returning to Russia.

He was arrested at 12 noon local time on Sunday (January 18) at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport.

Alexei Navalny’s spokeswoman, Kira Yarmish, said in a tweet.

In a tweet, he wrote that the police had arrested Alexei Navalny at the airport. Nobody has the opportunity to meet him.

Navalny returned to Russia by air from Berlin, Germany, some five months later at risk of arrest. Previously, he became ill after consuming poison last year.

According to the international media CNN, Navalny and his wife landed at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport shortly after 8 pm local time. His plane was scheduled to land at Nukovo airport. Hundreds of followers turned out to welcome them. But Navalny’s plane could not land there and was evacuated to Sheremitievo. Nukovo airport police arrested several people and evacuated people from the terminal, Reuters reported.

Navalny fell ill and fell into a coma after drinking a cup of tea on a domestic flight from Serbia to Moscow in August last year. From the airport he was admitted to a local hospital. If his condition did not change, he was taken to Germany for advanced treatment. According to the test, an attempt was made to kill him with a toxic nerve agent manufactured in Soviet times.

In a post on his Instagram on Wednesday, the leader announced his return to Russia and the resumption of politics. The Kremlin has also said it has no objections to his return.
