Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny has been released from jail on Sunday following three weeks behind bars over staging anti-Kremlin protests.
The 42-year-old Navalny, who had been held at a detention center in the south of Moscow since September 24, was released early on Sunday.
Navalny finished a previous 30-day incarceration in September for organizing an unauthorized rally at the start of the year.
The Kremlin critic has repeatedly been jailed over the past year for organizing unauthorized public meetings and rallies.
The latest demonstration by Navalny’s supporters and opposition groups was against the raising of the retirement age, which coincided with regional elections last month.
