This is the best summary I could come up with:
Moscow’s Basmanny District Court ruled to arrest Navalnaya on charges of alleged involvement in an extremist group.
Navalny was imprisoned after returning to Moscow in January 2021 from Germany, where he had been recuperating from the 2020 nerve agent poisoning that he blamed on the Kremlin.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz noted on X that Navalnaya is carrying on her husband’s legacy and denounced the Moscow court’s ruling.
The 2021 court ruling that outlawed Navalny’s group forced his close associates and team members to leave Russia.
A number of journalists have been jailed on similar charges in recent months in relation to their coverage of Navalny.
The Kremlin’s crackdown on opposition activists, independent journalists and ordinary Russians critical of it has intensified after Russia invaded Ukraine in Feb. 2022.
