The state prosecution requested 11 years in prison for the former head of Navalny's Barnaul headquarters, Vadim Ostanin, said Boris Zolotarevsky, a former Navalny team activist.
Ostanin was detained in December 2021. A criminal case was initiated against him for participation in an extremist community and a non-profit organization infringing on a person.
According to the Investigative Committee, the activist continued to work in Navalny's structures after they were recognized as "extremist."
In March of this year, Ostanin, already in the pre-trial detention center, said that his health had deteriorated due to the conditions of detention. He also reported that he was "promised a bad attitude" if he "does not tell everything."
