Jailed Russian Opposition Leader Alexei Navalny’s health is reportedly deteriorating after going on a hunger strike for more than a week.
The prominent critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the strike to protest against prison officials allegedly refusing to give him proper medical treatment.
Mr Navalny has complained of acute back and leg pain and he claims he has been diagnosed with hernias in his spine.
