Charges of treason and foreign agentsThe Russian government denied treatment to Navalny despite his deteriorating health from prison. This led Putin to write an open letter stating that 400 doctors in Russia had to treat Navalny and that the poisoning had worsened his health. Putin accused Navalny of being a foreign agent and trying to overthrow the government with the support of foreign powers. The trial was going on. During the trial via video conference, Navalny argued that he was being charged with terrorism and treason to be jailed for life. Navalny told the court that he was accused of planning terrorist attacks while in prison. Putin also accused the United States, Britain and Germany of being behind Navalny. The prosecution asked the court to extend the jail term to 20 years as it was a crime of sedition. In this, the sentence has now been extended to 19 years. It needs to be clarified whether this will be for another nineteen years or it will be concurrent with the current imprisonment.
