The ruling is expected to put all members and supporters of the organization at risk of up to six years in prison.Earlier this week, another Russian courtĀ barred Navalny's anti-corruption foundation (FBK) and his network of regional campaign offices from posting online. Navalny's ally Vladimir Ashurkov, the foundation's former director, who lives in exile outside of Russia, told CBS News earlier this week that he believed the Kremlin was taking such dramatic steps, "because over the years, Navalny and our organization emerged as the most important opponent to Vladimir Putin." Navalny's team also revealed on Thursday that Russian authorities had apparently opened yet another criminal case against Navalny and two of his key allies, this time for allegedly setting up a non-profit organization that "infringed on the personality and the rights of citizens."According to legalĀ documents cited by the opposition leader's associates, the case was opened in February.
