Lilia Chanysheva, 41, was sentenced in the city of Ufa, the capital of the central Bashkortostan Republic, where she headed Navalny\u2019s regional headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>Ufa\u2019s Kirovsk district court said it found her guilty of creating an \u201cextremist organisation\u201d and sentenced her to seven years and six months in a penal colony. Chanysheva\u2019s sentencing came as Russia\u2019s Ukraine offensive drags into its second year, with most Kremlin critics in exile or behind bars. From prison, Navalny has called her one of his best political coordinators and said authorities saw her as a major threat, saying that one investigator told him she was considered a \u201cNavalny in a skirt\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI should be free because my work is completely legal,\u201d a smiling Chanysheva said after the verdict, in a video released by Navalny\u2019s spokeswoman Kira Yarmysh. Chanysheva had worked for major companies including Deloitte before joining Navalny\u2019s team in 2017. She was detained in November 2021 and was the first Navalny associate to stand trial on charges of creating an \u201cextremist organisation\u201d. She is also one of the few high-profile women in the Russian opposition that is dominated by men. Navalny\u2019s team said Chanysheva\u2019s long prison sentence was the authorities\u2019 punishment for her \u201clegal political activities, for investigations\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors had requested a 12-year prison term. Speaking in court in May, she asked the judge to release her. \u201cIf you jail me for 12 years, I won\u2019t have time to give birth to a child,\u201d she said at the time. \u201cGive me a chance to become a mom.\u201d Navalny said in March that Chanysheva swapped \u201ca successful career\u201d for a chance to work as head of his political office in one of Russia\u2019s most corrupt regions, where she ruffled many feathers. \u201cThey hated her terribly,\u201d he wrote this year, referring to the authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Navalny, 47, is serving a nine-year sentence on embezzlement and other charges that supporters say is punishment for challenging President Vladimir Putin. Navalny is set to go on trial in a new \u201cextremism\u201d case, and faces at least 30 years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/they-hated-her-russia-jails-navalny-ally-to-7-5-years\/article\">DJ<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/they-hated-her-russia-jails-navalny-ally-to-7-5-years\/\">\u2018They hated her\u2019: Russia jails Navalny ally to 7.5 years<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[10405,555,10406,588],"class_list":["post-114928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ally","tag-csr-news-en","tag-jail-navalny","tag-russia"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114928","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114928"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114928\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
