MOSCOW (AP) — Imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been handed new charges by Russian prosecutors.
The 47-year-old is already serving more than 30 years in prison after being found guilty of crimes including extremism — charges that his supporters characterize as politically motivated. In comments passed to his associates, Navalny said he had been charged under article 214 of Russia’s penal code, which covers crimes of vandalism.

Wasn’t he imprissioned for failing to report that he was in a comma because he had been poisoned?
Initially he was arrested because he failed to meet the requirements of his probation from an earlier conviction, while he was in a coma after being poisoned.
Maybe he vandalized his solitary confinment cell when a pencil touched a table and left a mark he did not notice.
