Putin critic Alexei Navalny jailed for 19 years by Russian court – BBC News


Russia’s imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny has told supporters not to lose the will to resist, after his jail term was extended to 19 years.

Mr Navalny was found guilty of founding and funding an extremist organisation. He denies the charges.

He was already serving a nine-year term for parole violations, fraud and contempt of court. The charges are widely viewed as politically motivated.

The trial took place in a remote penal colony, where he has been held since 2021. The Kremlin’s most vocal critic will serve his time in a "special regime colony", which Russian state prosecutors had been calling for.

Even more restrictive than a high security colony, such prisons are normally reserved for dangerous criminals, re-offenders and those with life imprisonment.

Reeta Chakrabarti presents BBC News at Ten reporting from the prison court, by Russia editor Steve Rosenberg.
