Alexei Navalny is currently serving an eleven-and-a-half-year prison sentence for breaching the reporting obligation, as well as for aggravated fraud when he allegedly embezzled party money from the 2017 election campaign. He himself believes that the accusations are fabricated and completely devoid of evidence.
Now the prosecutor is seeking another 30 years in prison for Navalny. He is accused of extremism and allegedly encouraged others to commit acts directed against the state.
In early 2023, more than 400 doctors in Russia signed an open letter pleading with the Kremlin to provide Navalny with competent medical care, fearing his health is deteriorating in prison.
