A Russian court ordered opposition leader Alexey Navalny, detained Sunday on arrival from Germany where he’d been recovering from a poisoning attack, jailed for 30 days, defying U.S. and European calls to free him.
The activist faces as much as 3.5 years in prison at a hearing set for Feb. 2 on charges he breached the terms of a suspended sentence. In a makeshift courtroom in a police station outside Moscow Monday, a judge ordered Navalny, 44, held until Feb. 15 for those alleged violations.
