Prosecutors have accused the pro-Ukraine entity of defending extremism<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Russian Supreme Court has designated the Anti-Corruption Foundation (ACF), run by associates of late opposition figure Alexey Navalny, as a terrorist group.<\/p>\n

The Russian authorities previously banned several organizations founded by Navalny’s team, whose publicly active members have fled the country and now reside abroad.<\/p>\n

The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office said on Thursday that the US-registered pressure group, better known by the Russian acronym FBK, has carried out activities aimed at “the propaganda, justification, and support of terrorism.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The ACF has openly sided with Ukraine in its conflict with Russia and has urged the West to impose more sanctions on Moscow. The foundation has denied any wrongdoing, calling the prosecution politically motivated. “We are not terrorists, and everyone knows that,”<\/em> the group said in a statement on Telegram.<\/p>\n

The Kremlin has denied involvement, while prison officials said Navalny died of natural causes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
