Kremlin opponent Alexei Navalny will have to stand trial next week on further charges. In order to sift through the comprehensive indictment, the imprisoned Kremlin opponent wanted more time.

Now his complaint has been dismissed. According to the court, Navalny's trial for alleged "extremism" is scheduled to begin next Tuesday (6 June), for which he could face 30 years in prison in the worst case. Currently, the 46-year-old, who is internationally considered a political prisoner, is sentenced to nine years in jail.
