Navalny's New Trial: Putin's Critic Faces Decades in Prison

Alexei Navalny, Russia's most prominent opposition leader and vocal critic of the Kremlin, has gone on trial again, this time facing multiple charges that could add decades to his current nine-year prison term. The charges include creating an extremist organization and financing extremist activities, with authorities having already declared his network of campaign offices and Anti-Corruption Foundation "extremist" and shut them down. Navalny's ability to mobilize the public, especially young Russians, to take to the streets in anti-government protests makes the authorities nervous, and they seem determined to keep him behind bars.
