Jailed war critic Alexey Moskalyov returned to solitary confinement for fifth time since April

Moskalyov has reportedly been given two weeks in an isolation cell, and told his lawyer that he is feeling well but that he often gets tired as he’s only allowed to use his bed between 10 PM and 6 AM.

“This time around, he was sent to solitary confinement for resting his head on his hand while sitting at a table. He was accused of ‘turning the table into a bed’,” Russian human rights organisation OVD-Info noted on Wednesday.
