Navalny was not transferred from house arrest to a pre-trial detention center

The Zamoskvoretsky court decided to keep Alexei Navalny under house arrest despite the demand of the Federal Penitentiary Service to detain him. The Federal Penitentiary Service filed a relevant notice with the court due to the fact that Navalny, violating the regime of house arrest, went to Manezhnaya Square on the evening of December 30 to a people's gathering, where he was detained. "Newspaper. Ru” quotes a court press release stating: “The notice of Navalny’s violation of the conditions of house arrest has been returned to the department, since he has already been given a suspended sentence by a court verdict and the consideration of such appeals is not procedurally provided for.”
