A court in Moscow ruled to keep the head of an election monitoring group who has alleged widespread ballot fraud in the past in prison until mid-April next year, a month after Russia is expected to hold its next presidential vote. Grigory Melkonyants, co-chairman of the non-governmental Golos group, which the justice ministry has labelled "a foreign agent", was detained in August before regional elections and accused of cooperating with an "undesirable organisation," something he denies. The court's decision to extend the pre-trial detention of Melkonyants by a further three months - to eight months - comes as Russia is preparing to officially begin a presidential election campaign.
