Prominent Putin critic Navalny sentenced to further 19 years in prison
We're hearing that a Russian court has sentenced Alexei Navalny to an additional 19 years in prison for his existing extremism conviction.
It's Mr Navalny's third prison term, and his longest so far.
The 47-year-old is Vladimir Putin's fiercest critic, and is already serving more than 11 years for fraud and other alleged crimes he argues are also bogus.
Mr Navalny's own political movement has previously been outlawed and declared "extremist" by pro-Putin authorities.
During his closed-door trial last month Mr Navalny said the war was the "most stupid and senseless" of the 21st century and that Russia was "floundering in a pool of either mud or blood".
Alexei Navalny was first sentenced in February 2021AP
