Ivan Pavlov, second from right, lawyer of the Anti-Corruption Foundation, speaks to reporters at the Moscow City Court on Thursday.
MOSCOW —Russian authorities have jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny, arrested his staff and supporters and even independent journalists who covered protest rallies last week in his support. On Friday at about 6.40 a.m., agents from Russia's internal security agency, the FSB, knocked on the hotel room door of his attorney, Ivan Pavlov.
Pavlov is acting for Navalny in the case by prosecutors to ban three Navalny organizations in a closed court hearing where much of the evidence is a state secret. The lawyer was arrested and charged Friday with disclosing preliminary investigation data in a case.
