The Russian authorities are seeking a 13-year prison sentence for opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a trial Kremlin critics see as an attempt to keep President Vladimir Putin's most ardent foe in prison for as long as possible.
In this image provided by the Russian Federal Penitentiary Service, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny waves to journalists and supporters via a video link, as he stands next to his wife Yulia and his layers during a court session in Pokrov, Vladimir region, about 100 kilometers east of Moscow, Russia, Monday, Jan. 17, 2022. A new trial against Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has opened at the penal colony where he already is serving a prison term.
Navalny's top ally, Leonid Volkov, who has left Russia where he is facing multiple criminal cases himself, claimed Tuesday in a Facebook post that the authorities want the politician to remain in prison “until the end of life of one of the two people — Navalny himself or Vladimir Putin.” Navalny, 45, has appeared at hearings wearing prison garb and made several elaborate speeches during the trial, decrying the charges against him as bogus.
