The opposition leader is found guilty of further offences by a court at a behind closed doors hearing.
The jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been handed a further 19 year jail term, at a trial in a remote penal colony.
Russian state prosecutors had called for a 20-year prison sentence for Mr Navalny in an even more restrictive "special regime colony". Such prisons are normally reserved for Russia's most dangerous criminals. When Mr Navalny delivered his final statement two weeks ago, there was no video or audio recording of his words. But the text of his speech criticising the Russian authorities and the war in Ukraine was made public. His supporters, including Russian actors and musicians in exile, read it out and posted online.
A charismatic campaigner, he seemed to be the only Russian opposition leader capable of mobilising people in large numbers across Russia to take part in anti-government protests.
