A Moscow court has ordered the imprisonment of Yulia Navalnaya – widow of Alexei Navalny – for a period of two months. She is accused of being part of an extremist group, leading to potential arrest upon her return to Russia.

Following her husband's death in a penal colony, Navalnaya emerged into the public eye and vowed to continue the fight for Navalny's vision of a better Russia.

In a message to her supporters, Navalnaya emphasized the importance of focusing on challenging Russian President Vladimir Putin, labeling him a murderer and a war criminal.

Contrary to allegations, the Kremlin denies any involvement in Navalny's death.

Since the passing of her husband, Navalnaya has engaged with various global leaders with the aim of continuing Navalny's efforts against the Putin regime.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz condemned the court's ruling as an attack on freedom and democracy.

Russian authorities have not detailed the specific charges against Navalnaya, which appear linked to Navalny's Foundation for Fighting Corruption being branded an extremist organization.

Navalny's imprisonment upon his return to Moscow in 2021 resulted from his accusation that the Kremlin was behind the poisoning incident in 2020.

His death in the Arctic penal colony sparked outrage and claims of foul play.

Navalny's demise marked the removal of Putin's prominent political adversary who led protests against the government.
