Anastasia Vasilyeva, the leader of an Alliance of Doctors nonprofit organization, included by the Ministry of Justice in the list of foreign agents, speaks to the law enforcement officer outside the prison colony IK-2, where an opposition leader Alexei Navalny serves his prison term, in the town of Pokrov, Vladimir region, Russia. Alexei Navalny announced a hunger strike last week in protest at what he said was the refusal of prison authorities to treat him properly for acute back and leg pain. Doctors from the Navalny-backed Alliance of Doctors announced going to the Pokrov prison on Tuesday to demand the opposition leader gets qualified medical help. Prison authorities say his condition is satisfactory and he has been provided with all necessary medical care.
