In over 100 cities in Russia and over 70 cities worldwide, people joined the call to release Navalny and give his doctors access to him, according to the organizers in Düsseldorf.
Amnesty International announced on Wednesday that they were very concerned about Navalny.
He is still being denied adequate medical care that he trusts.
During protests against Navalny's imprisonment in Russia, there were arrests on Wednesday.
Navalny's team had spontaneously announced protests in more than 200 Russian cities because the 44-year-old's health in the prison camp is said to have deteriorated massively.
The opposition, who barely survived a poison attack last summer, has been complaining about severe back pain and paralysis in his arms and legs for a long time.
He went on a hunger strike to protest against the lack of medical care.
