Russian prison service designates opposition leader Alexey Navalny a terrorist
CBSN
Russia's prison officials have labeled jailed Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny an extremist and a terrorist, according to a Monday post on his Instagram account.
Navalny, who has now spent nearly nine months behind bars in Russia, has been previously regarded as a flight risk and was subject to constant checks, including nighttime raids by guards. He said on Instagram that he recently had been summoned before a committee that voted unanimously to change his status.
"Now there is just a sign over my bunk bed saying that I am a terrorist," Navalny said in the post, published with the help of his lawyers.
