MOSCOU, Russia - Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny said Wednesday he could face life in prison on "terrorism" charges while another popular opposition politician went on trial in Russia's escalating clampdown on dissent.
Navalny's team says authorities are preparing a major new trial against the star enemy of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The court gave Navalny until May 5 to read the 196 tomes of materials comprising the extremism case, his team said. He shot to global prominence after he barely survived a poisoning with Novichok, a Soviet-designed nerve agent, which the opposition politician blames on the Kremlin. He was arrested in January 2021 upon returning from Germany after recovering from the poisoning attack.
He had until recently remained largely untouchable but in August 2022, authorities opened a criminal probe against Roizman. Roizman has a penchant for crude language and has peppered Twitter with swear words to mock officials, much to the delight of his supporters.Roizman first shot to prominence as an anti-drugs activist fighting Russia's severe narcotics epidemic.
