Russian court orders arrest of Yulia Navalnaya on extremism charges
SUMMARY
A Moscow court has issued an arrest warrant for Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, accusing her of involvement in an "extremist" group. Yulia, who resides outside Russia, faces detention if she returns. Since Alexei Navalny's death earlier this year, Yulia has vowed to continue his anti-regime activism. Responding to the warrant, she denounced Vladimir Putin as a "murderer and war criminal," reiterating his accountability in a social media statement. The court's decision reflects ongoing crackdowns on Navalny's allies; previously, Russian journalists linked to Navalny's Foundation for Fighting Corruption were arrested on similar charges.
