Russia finally bans Navalny organization – look

Russia’s judiciary has finally banned several organizations run by the imprisoned Kremlin opponent Alexei Navalny. Among other things, the anti-corruption foundation FBK and the regional staff of the opposition have been classified as extremist, said the Moscow court on Wednesday evening. Nawalny’s supporters had criticized the process as politically motivated. In connection with a newly enacted law, they are no longer allowed to run in the autumn parliamentary elections, among other things.

A few weeks ago, Nawalny’s regional staff was temporarily banned from operating and the activities of his anti-corruption foundation were severely restricted. A few days later, the financial regulator put the regional staff on the list of extremist and terrorist organizations.
