A Russian court has fined Yulia Navalnaya, the wife of jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, 20,000 roubles ($265) for taking part in unsanctioned protests on Sunday, the court said.
The wife of jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny appeared in a Russian court Monday (February 1) for protesting the day before.
Yulia Navalnaya was fined $265 for taking part in unsanctioned protests on Sunday (January 31).
Addressing the court her lawyer said they'd be appealing the decision.
Yulia joined thousands of protesters across Russia marching to call for her husband's release.
Braving the bitter cold and threat of prosecution riot police broke up the protests detaining more than 5,300.
This protester is shouting for the police to stop electroshocking him.
The Kremlin's spokesman on Monday labelled the demonstrators "hooligans and provocateurs," telling reporters on a conference call that dialog with such people would be impossible.
Authorities had said in advance that the rallies were illegal and would be broken up.
Navalny was arrested on January 17 after returning to Moscow from Germany.
He had been recovering from a nerve agent poisoning in Russia last summer.
He accuses President Vladimir Putin of ordering his murder, which the Kremlin denies.

Russia Vetoes UN Resolution , to Prevent Nukes in Space.
The resolution was sponsored
by Japan and the United States.
It called on all nations to refrain from developing or deploying nuclear weapons "or other weapons of mass destruction in space," 'The Guardian' reports. .
A 1967 international treaty
already bans such weapons in space.
Russia’s U.N. Ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia,
vetoed the resolution, calling it "absolutely absurd and politicized," as well as a "dirty spectacle.".
China abstained from voting, while the rest of the 15-member council voted in favor of the resolution. .
Today’s veto begs the question:
Why? Why, if you are following the
rules, would you not support a
resolution that reaffirms them?
What could you possibly be hiding, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., via 'The Guardian'.
Russia and China would rather establish an
amendment calling on all nations "to prevent for
all time the placement of weapons in outer space, and the threat of use of force in outer spaces.".
We want a ban on the placement of
weapons of any kind in outer space, not
just WMDs [weapons of mass destruction].
But you don’t want that. And let me ask
you that very same question. Why?, Vassily Nebenzia, Russia’s U.N. ambassador, via 'The Guardian'.
Nebenzia went on to say, "if we recall that the U.S. and their allies announced some time ago plans to place weapons … in outer space.".
The U.S.-Japan resolution was announced in March after it was determined that Russia was in possession of "a 'troubling' anti-satellite weapon capability," 'The Guardian' reports.
However, earlier this year, Putin said, , "Our position is clear and transparent: We have always been categorically against and are now against the deployment of nuclear weapons in space."
