He is still considered a political prisoner by Amnesty, just not a prisoner of conscience. Problem with Internet and social media is we too often neglect to find out what is being written or said on something, and react based on first emotion, i.e. pretty blindly.

Not quite. From the statement from Amnesty,

They pulled his prisoner of conscience designation after a concerted pressure campaign from the Russian government. His old statements were well known; nothing had changed but the fact that they got bullied. And guess what the Russian media is saying, of course?

Apparently the head of Amnesty also got tricked by a prank call from well-known Russian radio jocks/government cutouts, pretending to be one of Navalny’s aides. All Amnesty has is credibility, and they managed to blow a lot of it on this.
