West tells Russia to free Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, Moscow pushes back
Western nations told Russia to immediately free detained Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny on Monday, a day after he was detained at a Moscow airport after flying home for the first time since he was poisoned last summer. Russia quickly rejected calls to release him, telling the West to mind its own business as police continued to hold Navalny in a Moscow police station. "Respect international law, do not encroach on national legislation of sovereign states and address problems in your own country," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova wrote on Facebook.
