Allies of imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny say Russian authorities have searched the homes of three lawyers representing him, with one of them detained
Russian authorities on Friday searched the homes of three lawyers representing imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny and detained one of them, the politician's allies said. The move against his lawyers is an attempt to “completely isolate Navalny,” his ally Ivan Zhdanov said on social media. Navalny has been behind bars since January 2021, serving a 19-year prison sentence, but has been able to get messages out regularly and keep up with the news.
” For many political prisoners in Russia, regular visits from lawyers — especially in remote regions — are a lifeline that allows them to keep in touch with loved ones and supporters, as well as reporting and pushing back against abuse by prison officials. Navalny, 47, is President Vladimir Putin’s fiercest foe, campaigning against official corruption and organizing major anti-Kremlin protests.
