extended from nine to 19 years. mr navalny was found guilty of inciting and financing extremist activity and creating an extremist organisation, charges he denied. he s already serving a nine year term for fraud and contempt of court, in a case which many see as politically motivated. today s court proceedings were held in the prison in melekhovo, where he has been held, and from where our russia editor, steve rosenberg, reports. this is the closest we were allowed to get to russia s most famous prisoner. we d been let inside the high securityjail where alexei navalny was already incarcerated. but journalists weren t allowed into the makeshift courtroom. all we could do was watch on a screen. at this trial behind bars, the kremlin critic was found guilty on extremism charges and handed a new 19 year prison sentence. he ll be transferred to a so called special regime colony and harsher conditions. we may have been allowed in here to watch the verdict on a tv screen, but keep
