Navalny, 47, is President Vladimir Putin’s fiercest foe and has exposed official corruption and organised major anti-Kremlin protests.
A RUSSIAN COURT has convicted imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny of extremism changes and sentenced him to an 19 years in prison.
The new charges against the politician relate to the activities of Navalny’s anti-corruption foundation and statements by his top associates. Navalny’s allies say the charges retroactively criminalise all the foundation’s activities since its creation in 2011. “The new sentence imposed today on opposition figure Alexei Navalny raises renewed serious concerns about judicial harassment and instrumentalisation of the court system for political purposes in Russia,” Volker Turk said in a statement.The European Union has also condemned the sentencing.
