In #Navalny’s trial on extremism charges, #Russia’s highly #PoliticizedJusticeSystem reached a new low — a #ClosedTrial in a closed prison #inaccessible to the #public.

The trial was held in an unidentified rm in Penal Colony # 6…. News media & even Navalny’s parents were barred from attending, except for 86 mins on the 1st day when they were not allowed in the courtroom but watched a video link w/barely intelligible sound. A similar video link w/poor quality was used for the sentencing on Fri.
