Russian Court Sentences Navalny's Lawyers Vadim Kobzev, Aleksey Liptser, and Dmitry Sergunin to 3.5 to 5.5 Years for Extremism Charges
Jan 17, 2025, 07:49 AM
A Russian court has sentenced three lawyers of the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny to prison terms ranging from 3.5 to 5.5 years. The lawyers, Vadim Kobzev, Aleksey Liptser, and Dmitry Sergunin, were convicted on charges related to their involvement with an 'extremist organization.' The court's decision has been met with condemnation from various sources, including the Estonian Foreign Ministry, which criticized the verdict as politically motivated and a violation of the rule of law. The charges against the lawyers stemmed from their actions in relation to Navalny's letters, which were part of his posthumously published book, 'The Patriot.'
