Russian prosecutors on Monday suspended the activities of Alexei Navalny s regional offices, in a move his team said would essentially shut down the jailed opposition figure s movement.
The move comes after Navalny, President Vladimir Putin s most outspoken critic, ended a hunger strike last week that he had launched to demand proper medical treatment in prison.
A court in Moscow on Monday began proceedings into designating Navalny s Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) and its regional offices extremist after prosecutors requested they be added to a list run by Russia s Anti-Terrorism Committee.

Russian prosecutors on Monday suspended the activities of Alexei Navalny s regional offices, in a move his team said would essentially shut down the jailed opposition figure s decade-long movement against President Vladimir Putin.
The order came as a court began considering whether to designate Navalny s Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) and his regional offices as extremist organisations, putting them on par with the Islamic State group and Al-Qaeda and banning them in Russia.
FBK published screenshots of a decision by the Moscow prosecutor s office ordering Navalny s nationwide network to stop working while the court deliberated the extremist designations.
