The imprisoned politician Alexey Navalny is coping with the prison authorities’ diabolical inventiveness in making his life intolerable.
This time, after a human rights commission visited Navalny and pointed out that his cell was too dark, the penal colony’s administration installed several extremely bright LED lights in his six-by-ten-foot punishment cell.
“Thanks a lot, guys,” Navalny said to the human rights monitors,
You’ve really done me a damn favor. It’s you who made them change the lights, but it’s me who will go blind in three months. Seems unfair, doesn’t it. Get back over here, and change everything back to how it was.
The lights make it unbearable just to be in the cell, reports the politician.
