Imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny is preparing to hear the verdict Friday in his latest trial on extremism charges.<\/p>\n

The prosecution has demanded a 20-year prison sentence, and the politician himself said he expects to receive a lengthy term. If the court finds Navalny guilty, it would be his fifth criminal conviction, all of which his supporters see as a deliberate Kremlin strategy to silence its most ardent opponent.<\/p>\n

Navalny is already serving a nine-year sentence for fraud and contempt of court. He also was sentenced in 2021 to 2\u00bd years in prison for a parole violation. The extremism trial has taken place behind closed doors in the penal colony east of Moscow where he is imprisoned.<\/p>\n

The 47-year-old Navalny is President Vladimir Putin\u2019s<\/a> fiercest foe and has exposed official corruption and organized major anti-Kremlin protests. He was arrested in January 2021 upon returning to Moscow after recuperating in Germany from nerve agent poisoning that he blamed on the Kremlin.<\/p>\n

The new charges relate to the activities of Navalny\u2019s anti-corruption foundation and statements by his top associates. His allies said the charges retroactively criminalize all of the foundation\u2019s activities since its creation in 2011.<\/p>\n

One of Navalny’s associates, Daniel Kholodny, is standing trial alongside him after being relocated from a different prison. The prosecution has asked to sentence Kholodny to 10 years in prison.<\/p>\n

Navalny has rejected all the charges against him as politically motivated and accused the Kremlin of seeking to keep him behind bars for life.<\/p>\n

On the eve of the verdict hearing, Navalny released a statement on social media, presumably through his team, in which he said he expected his latest sentence to be “huge\u2026 a Stalinist term,” referring to the Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.<\/p>\n

In the statement, Navalny called on Russians<\/a> to “personally” resist and encouraged them to support political prisoners, distribute flyers or go to a rally. He told Russians that they could choose a safe way to resist, but he added that “there is shame in doing nothing. It\u2019s shameful to let yourself be intimidated.”<\/p>\n

The politician is currently serving his sentence in a maximum-security prison \u2014 Penal Colony No. 6 in the town of Melekhovo more than 140 miles east of Moscow.<\/p>\n

He has spent months in a tiny one-person cell, also called a “punishment cell,” for purported disciplinary violations, such as an alleged failure to properly button his prison clothes, appropriately introduce himself to a guard or to wash his face at a specified time.<\/p>\n

On social media, Navalny’s associates have urged supporters to come to Melekhovo on Friday to express solidarity with the politician.<\/p>\n

The prosecution has asked the court, if it convicts Navalny, to order the politician to serve any new prison term in a “special regime” penal colony, a term that refers to the Russian prisons with the highest level of security and the harshest inmate restrictions.<\/p>\n

Russian law<\/a> stipulates that only men given life sentences or “especially dangerous recidivists” are sent to those types of prisons.<\/p>\n

The country has many fewer “special regime” colonies compared to other types of adult prisons, according to state penitentiary service data: 35 colonies for “dangerous recidivists” and six for men imprisoned for life. Maximum-security colonies are the most widespread type, with 251 currently in operation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
