Russia suspends activities of Kremlin critic Navalny’s groups

Moscow dials up pressure on jailed Kremlin critic’s movement, prompting condemnation from Germany.
State prosecutors in Moscow have ordered campaign groups supporting Alexey Navalny to stop their activities, pending a request to outlaw them and the jailed Kremlin critic’s Anti-Corruption Foundation. The move on Monday came as a court in the Russian capital met for a preliminary hearing to consider a prosecutor’s request to label Navalny’s foundation and its regional offshoots as “extremist”. The prosecutor has accused pro-Navalny groups of plotting to destabilise the political situation in Russia and working to promote a popular revolution.More Related News
