Moscow prosecutor moves to outlaw Kremlin critic Navalny's activist network

MOSCOW (Reuters) - State prosecutors in Moscow asked a court on Friday to label jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny's anti-corruption group and regional headquarters "extremist" organisations, a move that would ban them and open up activists to long jail terms.

The move, if approved, would mark one of the most serious steps taken by authorities yet to target the network of groups set up by the staunch critic of President Vladimir Putin who is on hunger-strike as he serves a two-and-half-year jail term.

Activists caught organising the activity of such groups can be jailed for up to 10 years, people taking part in them can be held criminally liable and the groups themselves are prohibited from any kind of banking activity.

The Moscow state prosecutor said it had decided to appeal to the court after studying Navalny's Anti-corruption Foundation and campaign groups that he has built up in regions across the country.
