Russia puts late opposition leader Alexey Navalny’s lawyers on trial
Three lawyers, who once represented the late Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny, have gone on trial in Russia over “extremism” charges. Vadim Kobzev, Igor Sergunin and Alexei Liptser were seen standing in a metal cage for defendants at a district court just east of Moscow on Thursday before Judge Yulia Shilova granted the prosecution’s request to move the session behind closed doors.
