Russian court postpones start of Navalny extremism case

Lawyers Ivan Pavlov (C) and Ilya Novikov (2L) speak to the media outside the Moscow City Court on May 17, 2021, after the hearing of an extremism case against jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) was postponed. – Prosecutors in April requested that Navalny’s regional network and his Anti-Corruption Foundation be designated “extremist” organisations, accusing them of plotting to stage a Western-backed uprising in Russia.
