Former inmates describe how Alexey Navalny is bullied and isolated in prison

Two ex-convicts who were recently in prison with Alexey Navalny have described to journalists how officials bully and try to demoralize the opposition politician. Former inmates Nariman Osmanov and Evgeny Burak told Dozhd television that prisoners at Pokrov's Correctional Facility Number 2 were instructed not to speak to Navalny, to ensure that he remains socially isolated. To discourage interactions with Navalny, officials even screened a video for the inmates that depicted him as gay. In another attempt to torment Navalny after he returned from the hospital, prison officials allegedly deprived him of sleep for three nights by transferring an inmate to the neighboring cell and arranging for him to "make different sounds" until dawn.
