She stayed behind in Moscow this year as other close political allies fled fearing prosecution ahead of September"s parliamentary elections.

The restrictions included not being allowed to leave home at night. read more After the ruling, she said on Ekho Moskvy radio station that the sentence had not yet come into force and that the restrictions were not effective. "Essentially, you can interpret this as the possibility of leaving the country," she said. Navalny"s allies have faced mounting pressure. This week a June court ruling formally came into force outlawing the nationwide activist network built up by Navalny, President Vladimir Putin"s fiercest domestic opponent, as "extremist".
