JAILED KREMLIN CRITIC Alexei Navalny has gone on trial on “extremism” charges that could see his prison time extended for decades, as the Kremlin moves to silence dissenting voices.
He was arrested in 2021 upon returning from Germany, where he recovered from a poison attack the previous year that he blamed on the Kremlin.Navalny said that prosecutors provided him with 3,828 pages describing all the crimes he is alleged to have committed while in prison. ‘Tried for political work’ This will be the first formally political case against him, his team said.Yarmysh said the first court hearing today was expected to be open to the public but the judge could ban reporters from covering the proceedings “even three minutes after the start”.In April, Navalny said he was told he would be judged by a military tribunal over “terrorism” charges. He could face life in prison, he said.
Despite his ordeal, the opposition leader, a lawyer by training, has sought to keep his spirits up in jail, fighting for his basic rights and taking prison officials to court. Navalny had set up a network of campaign offices across the country and aimed to run for president in 2018, but election authorities did not allow him to challenge Putin.
