The anti-corruption foundation of the Kremlin opponent Alexej Navalny, who is imprisoned in a penal camp, is facing new investigations by the authorities. It is about the suspicion of extremist activities, said Navalny’s employee Ivan Zhdanov in a video on the night to today. “It is obvious that you are preparing something. That’s another mean thing. ”Zhdanov showed a copy of a letter from the Moscow public prosecutor’s office that they are now investigating. The reason is „information about violations“.
Navalny’s organization fights against corruption in the Russian power apparatus and has repeatedly made revelations public. As a result, there have been repeated searches and seizures of computers in the various offices in the past.
Navalny in penal camp
Navalny has been detained in a penal camp about 100 kilometers east of Moscow for weeks. Most recently he complained of severe back pain and paralysis in one leg. He went on a hunger strike to protest the lack of medical help. The Russian penal system denied this allegation.
The opposition member was sentenced to several years‘ imprisonment in a much-criticized trial in February for allegedly violating registration requirements in previous criminal proceedings.
