Russia's top prosecutor filed an injunction Monday ordering the organization run by Alexei Navalny to suspends its activities while a court rules on whether the group should be outlawed as an extremist organization.
The Associated Press reported that associates of Navalny, a Putin critic who remains imprisoned by Russian authorities, said they would comply with the injunction until the court ruling, which is expected as early as Monday.
“It’s a total travesty of justice and lawlessness once again in Putin’s Russia,” said Lyubov Sobol, a producer and lawyer for Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation.

“Labeling us as extremists — contrary to the common sense and to the laws of this country, because obviously we’re not involved in any extremism — is quite a serious attack on our organization. We will have to survive in completely different conditions,” she continued. “But I am sure our work won’t stop.”
