Alexeï Navalny announced on Friday April 23 to end his hunger strike which began on March 31 from his Pokrov prison.

After the worsening of his state of health, the Russian opponent was transferred Monday to a prison hospital.

While his relatives feared an imminent cardiac arrest, the Russian authorities, they considered his state of health "satisfactory".

Western countries keep denouncing the situation and calling for his immediate release.

In Russia, braving the fear of repression, thousands of demonstrators mobilized Wednesday in the street to try to save Alexeï Navalny and, with him, what remains of democracy in the country.
