Russia: Navalny’s lawyers sentenced to 3.5-5.5 years in prison
Russia’s campaign against dissent takes another grim turn. Three former lawyers of Alexei Navalny, the late opposition leader, have been sentenced to prison on “extremism” charges for their connection to his Anti-Corruption Foundation. This move, following Navalny’s mysterious death in 2024, signals an intensifying crackdown on critics of the Kremlin and its war in Ukraine. With trials behind closed doors and accusations of fabricated charges, the fate of these lawyers highlights the growing peril for voices challenging Moscow’s power.
As a Washington-led peace effort in the Ukraine War begins with the next administration, it’s important to remember not only the stakes, but the character of the parties who will be sitting at the table.
