Navalny's Legal Battles Continue in Russian Prisons.
Russia's Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal by jailed opposition leader Alexey Navalny against restrictions imposed on access to writing materials in prison. Navalny had been challenging the restrictions imposed on access to writing materials in prisons "not only for himself, but for all prisoners" during a hearing at the Supreme Court in Moscow. The decision came as Navalny is facing a new trial on charges of "extremism" that could result in his prison sentence being extended by decades.
