“He suffers from severe back pain and pain in his right leg,” lawyer Olga Michailova told Dožd.
“We are afraid of his life and his health,” he added.
Navaln’s wife, Julia Navalnaya, on Instagram demanded that the spouse be treated by doctors they trust.
“Putin has already told the whole country that he is reading when I address him. Therefore, I demand the immediate release of my husband, Alexei Navalna, whom he illegally imprisoned.
Planted because he fears political competition and wants to sit on the throne for the rest of his life. What is happening now is a personal revenge against the person that passes before our eyes. It must be stopped immediately ”, writes J. Navalnaja on the social network Instagram.
According to J. Navalna, the wife’s back problems started a month ago while she was in solitary confinement in Moscow.
After the colony was brought to him, the situation only got worse and J. Navalnaja found a doctor who was determined to go see A. Navalna.
According to J. Navalnaja, A. Navalnas did not allow talking about health problems so that he would not seem to complain. He asked for some medication from the beginning of his arrival in the colony.
“Another doctor who treats back problems has prescribed special gym exercises for pain relief. Not only did these bastards not allow the medicine to be delivered and the doctor to come, but they also took a sheet of paper with the described gymnastic exercises from the lawyers, they don’t pass it on to Alexei, “he writes.
According to her, the back problems were aggravated because A. Navalns was not allowed to sleep normally; They woke him up every hour at night.
Officials: A.Navnas’ condition is satisfactory
Russian officials said on Thursday that Navaln’s health condition was “satisfactory”, but this did not reassure his colleagues, who demanded more information about his health and whereabouts.
In August last year, an attempt was made to poison the most prominent critic of the Kremlin with the anti-nerve paralyzing substance Novičiok. After the poisoning, he was flown to Germany for treatment in a coma.

After returning to Russia in January, Navaln, 44, was immediately arrested and sentenced to prison the following month for violating the terms of a probation sentence imposed on him in 2014 in a case of fraud and embezzlement while receiving treatment abroad.
His arrest sparked mass protests and his imprisonment in February on allegations of embezzlement sparked outrage from Russian and foreign human rights groups and condemned Western governments.
Navaln’s lawyers on Wednesday expressed concern for his health while he was serving a sentence in the infamous Pokrov correctional colony near Moscow. According to them, the opposition complained of back pain and melting legs.
The Federal Prison Service (FSIN) said Thursday that doctors who had examined Navalna assessed that he was fine.
“According to the results of the study, his health is evaluated as stable and satisfactory,” said the service.
Doctors do not report the diagnosis.
Leonid Volkov, Navaln’s right-hand man, previously suggested that the prison administration could hide the fact that he had been transferred to a prison hospital and that “something was wrong with him.”
He later reported that two lawyers for A. Navaln had been granted permission to visit him in the Pokrov colony.
Navaln has been examined by doctors, but the doctors have yet to report on the diagnosis and treatment, his lawyers say.
“He was examined by a prison neurologist last Friday, the diagnosis and the results of the examination are still unclear,” Vadim Kobzev, a lawyer for Navaln, told the Interfax news agency on Thursday.
Michailova, for her part, told Dožd television that on Wednesday, A. Navalnas was “transferred to a civil hospital, as he puts it, and an MRI test was performed there.”
“They did not diagnose him, that is, they did not inform him of the diagnosis, they did not tell him what treatment he needed,” said the lawyer.
According to V. Kobzev, A. Navalnas’ condition is also aggravated by the fact that “eight times a night he is awakened to” preventive credit “.
According to him, A. Navalnas is receiving painkillers.
For their part, A. Navalno’s colleagues issued a statement to the head of the colony, the director of the FSIN and the Attorney General, in which they asked that he be given the opportunity to see a doctor appointed by him and receive the necessary treatment.
In February, an anti-corruption activist was convicted of violating the terms of his probation in a 2014 fraud and embezzlement case. However, his comrades believe this was a way to silence criticism of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
The United States and the European Union have imposed sanctions on Russia for Navaln’s imprisonment and an attempt to poison him last summer, although Moscow denies the accusation.
Planned protests
The Kremlin said early Thursday that it was not following reports on Navaln’s health and had not asked prison authorities to provide relevant information.
“The situation of convicts and people serving time in penal institutions is monitored by his administration. This is their job,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
Marija Pevčich, head of research at the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) founded by A. Navaln, said that, according to A. Navaln’s supporters, “his life is in danger.”
Navaln is serving a two-and-a-half-year prison sentence in a neighborhood 100 km east of Moscow, famous for its extremely strict procedures.
Earlier this month, in his first post from Pokrov Correctional Facility 2, Navaln described the facility as a “real concentration camp” and said he was “surprised” by the poor conditions there.
Navaln hasn’t left the Kremlin alone for a decade, investigating the corruption of high-ranking officials and organizing mass protests across Russia.
His arrest at the Moscow airport in January sparked protests again, with tens of thousands of people taking to the streets across the country.
This week, Navaln’s comrades launched a campaign to free him and announced plans for “the biggest protests in modern Russia.”
