Russian authorities continue to take action against the leading government critic Alexei Navalny who was detained after returning to the country following treatment in Germany for nerve agent poisoning. His detention has prompted mass demonstrations in the streets of Moscow which led to tough clampdown by security services.
The former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt says more needs to be done to help free Mr Navalny and censure those responsible for his poisoning.
