Foreign Minister concerned about Navalny's detention

Foreign Minister Ivan Korcok has stated that he is observing with "great concern" the detention of Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny at a Moscow airport on his return from treatment abroad on Sunday. "Alexey Navalny's place is in free and safe political competition and not in custody," wrote Korcok on Twitter on Sunday evening. The Russian authorities have stated that they detained Navalny due to "multiple violations" of conditions concerning his 2014 suspended sentence regarding fraud. Navalny's lawyer called the detention unlawful and unsubstantiated, noting that it took place even before the passport check.
