Navalny said he was facing a "mockery of justice" as police organised a makeshift court hearing a day after his dramatic airport arrest. The Kremlin critic returned to Russia for the first time since being poisoned with a nerve agent in August, was denied access to his lawyers and notified at the last minute of the hearing. IMAGES
