Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny appeared in court again in Moscow on Friday, in a separate case from the one earlier this week that saw him sent to prison.
In this trial, heard at the capital s Babushkinskiy District court, the dissident faces charges of slandering a World War II veteran. Navalny was present at the proceedings, observing them from a glass box.
He has rejected the case as the Kremlin enacting political revenge.
In court on Friday, Navalny slammed the new hearing as a “PR project” intended by the Kremlin to disparage him. This is a PR project. The Kremlin needs headlines (such as) Navalny defamed a veteran. I m disgusted and I can t bear it, he said.
