Alexei Navalny ended his hunger strike after his private doctors had pleaded with him to take food to preserve his life.

Navalny started to refuse food on the 31 March with the aim of better medical care.

He was very dedicated to his cause.

His doctors had warned him that he could die at any moment if he kept this up for any longer.
