Navalny is already serving 11 and a half years in the IK-6 penal colony on fraud and contempt of court charges that he says were trumped up to silence him.
Vadim Kobzev said on Twitter that a foul-smelling inmate with poor hygiene had been placed in Navalny's cell on Monday in a"provocation" while he was doing prison labour, and that Navalny had had no choice on returning but to drag him out.
The penitentiary service, which has in the past denied allegations of mistreatment, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Last Thursday, his spokeswoman said he was suffering severe stomach pain and that she feared that he had been given poison. Kobzev said it was Navalny's 13th spell in a punishment cell since his arrest in 2021 after returning from Germany, where he had been recovering from being poisoned in Russia with what Western experts said was a Soviet-era nerve toxin. The Kremlin denied responsibility.
