TL;DR Summary

Jailed Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, has said he is being investigated on terrorism charges which could see him imprisoned beyond 2050. He is already facing 11-and-a-half years in prison on a range of charges, which supporters say are trumped-up. Another leading opposition figure, former Yekaterinburg Mayor Yevgeny Roizman, has gone on trial. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of discrediting Russia's armed forces. Russia has intensified a crackdown on its critics at home since invading Ukraine last year, with many in exile or behind bars.
