TL;DR Summary

Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny says he is in good spirits on his third birthday behind bars, despite tougher prison conditions and yet another spell in solitary confinement. At least 45 people were arrested taking part in pro-Navalny demonstrations in Russian cities. Navalny's team says he has been harassed in prison and kept in a "punishment cell" for minor transgressions. He is serving a nine-year prison sentence on embezzlement and other charges and is soon set to go on trial in a new "extremism" case, facing a further 35 years in prison.
