Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny is being held by police "illegally" and denied access to a lawyer, his foundation said Monday, after he was detained at a Moscow airport on arrival from Germany.
"Navalny is a Russian citizen. He was illegally detained. Lawyers are not allowed to see him," his Anti-Corruption Foundation wrote on Twitter, the morning after he returned from Germany where he was recovering from nerve agent poisoning.
