#Navalny asked to allow the media to film:
"This is a PR process, the Kremlin needs the headlines, ‘Navalny slandered a veteran. "
Judge: “This issue was previously resolved. Look there are journalists in the hall. "
Navalny: "But there are no cameras."

Same prosecutor as Tuesday, Ekaterina Frolova. Veteran has adjusted his shot to show a giant wedding portrait behind him, very on message. #Navalny says he doesn’t know Artemenko. ‘His relatives are shameless people who sell their grandfather’

#Navalny ‘The whole thing was invented by PR people, RT journalists, Margarita Simonyan’. Veteran sits listening intensely, looking slightly confused; the guard in the room we’re in watching this on screen is spellbound

Technical break to work out comms with the mysterious others in the room with the veteran. #Navalny keen to know if Artemenko understands what’s going on & who’s talking; asked why the woman next to him couldn’t get up and show herself. ‘I don’t understand, is she naked there?’

Comms re-established, terrible background noise. Veteran spoke, impossible to make out what he said. Literally could not be more absurd, this whole thing #Navalny

Veteran: ‘I used to give detailed testimony, now I feel unwell and I ask you to stop the interrogation. I want #Navalny to publicly apologize. "
