BREAKING: Putin Critic, Nalvany Sent To Three Years In Prison
Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader, has been condemned to two and a half years in a prison colony.
He was sentenced on charges he violated the terms of his probation while he was recuperating in Germany from nerve-agent poisoning that he blames on the Kremlin – an accusation the Russian authorities deny.
The judge sided with prosecutors who had demanded the court convert a three and a half year historic suspended sentence into a real jail term.
The prison sentence stems from a 2014 embezzlement conviction that he has rejected as fabricated.
The Kremlin critic was arrested last month after returning from Berlin where he spent five months recovering from the poisoning.
Hundreds of people were arrested on Tuesday after Mr Navalny’s backers gathered outside the court.
