The Basmani court of Moscow, by its decision, issued an arrest warrant in absentia for two months against Yulia Navalnaya, widow of the late opposition politician Alexei Navalny who died in prison in February, on the charge of “membership in an extremist group».

The ruling means he will be arrested if he returns to the country.

“Yulia Borisovna (Navalnaya) evaded preliminary investigation and has therefore been put on the wanted list“, the press service of the Moscow courts said in a post on the application Telegram.

The Mediazona website reports in its report that there is no information on the website of the Moscow courts about the hearing in the Basmani court.

That is, information about the hearing was deliberately withheld so that no one could watch the trial, which by definition is conducted in open proceedings, the publication said.

According to the indictment, Alexei Navalny’s widow faces up to six years in prison.

Navalnaya’s spokeswoman, Kira Jarmis, called the Basmani court’s decision “rapid recognition of services».

Yulia Navalny herself later posted comments on the social networking site X, in which she once again lashed out at Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling him a “murderer and war criminal.”

Writing in X , Navalnya urged her supporters not to focus on the court ruling against her, but on the battle against Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“When you write about this, please don’t forget to write the main thing: Vladimir Putin is a murderer and a war criminal».

“His place is in prison and not somewhere in The Hague, in a comfortable cell with a TV, but in Russia – in the same (penal) colony and in the same 2 by 3 meter cell in which he killed Alexeii”.

Yulia Navalnaya, 47, came to the fore after her husband’s death in an Arctic penal colony in February and said she would continue the fight for a “beautiful Russia of the future“, as Navalny had said.

“We will take into account everything that can be useful to fight Putin, to fight for the beautiful Russia of the future“, wrote Navalnaya in X.

The non-profit organization Human Rights Foundation based in USA named Navalny as its president last week and said she would use her new role to step up her husband’s fight against Putin.
