Jailed Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny says he is suffering worsening back pain from long spells in solitary confinement that he says are part of a deliberate strategy by the authorities to undermine his health.
Mr Navalny says he's being injected with unknown drugsIn a post on Twitter, he also complained of being injected with unknown drugs.
"For example, I have a problem with my spine. It is clear what one has to do to make the problem worse: keep me immobile as much as possible," said Navalny, 46, who is able to post on social media via his lawyers and allies.
