A Russian court on Friday sentenced Ksenia Fadeyeva, who led jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny's now-banned organisation in the Siberian city of Tomsk, to almost a decade in prison, her supporters said.
This is the latest in a string of heavy sentences against Russia's opposition, with the Kremlin doubling down on the repression of civil society since launching a military operation in Ukraine in 2022.
