Russian Opposition Leader Faces New Charge, More Jail

Imprisoned Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny faces a new charge that a non-profit organization he created encouraged Russians to break the law.

The charge, which was announced Wednesday by Russia’s Investigative Committee, is punishable by up to three years in prison. The committee says Navalny’s Foundation for Fighting Corruption group encouraged Russians to “perform unlawful acts” by encouraging Russians to participate in unauthorized protests in January.
