Imprisoned Russian opposition leader Aleksei Navalny has been transferred to a one-man cell, according to a post on November 17 on his social media account. Navalny was placed in solitary confinement, also called a "punishment cell," on November 1 but could only be held there for 15 days, according to the post on Instagram. He said his new confinement is "a regular cramped cell, like the punishment cell, except that you can have not one but two books and use the prison kiosk, albeit on a very limited budget."
