Prosecutors Seek 13-Year Sentence for Bashkortostan Activist Over Navalny Ties

Prosecutors in Bashkortostan have requested a 13-year prison sentence for Olga Komleva, an activist linked to the Anti-Corruption Foundation associated with Aleksei Navalny. Komleva, who volunteered at the regional branch of the organization before it was designated as ‘extremist’ in 2,021, faces charges related to her involvement with the group. The case has sparked discussions about the growing pressure on civil society activists in Russia, particularly those associated with Navalny’s movement.
