MOSCOW, June 10 Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny’s anti-corruption group vowed today to fight on after a court branded it an “extremist” organisation and ordered its closure. Western countries and the European Union were quick to condemn Wednesday’s late-night ruling, but senior.
The Foundation was defiant, saying on Twitter on Thursday morning: We woke up, smiled with destructive intent and knowing that we are a danger to society will continue to fight corruption.
What it will be able to do is unclear after the ruling, which followed a 12-hour hearing behind closed doors.
Navalny s key allies still in Russia are under close law enforcement supervision, some under house arrest, and other prominent aides have gone into exile.
He was jailed for more than two and a half years in February after he returned from Germany where he had been convalescing after a poisoning attack that he blamed on the Kremlin.

A Moscow court on Wednesday ruled that two organizations linked to jailed Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny are "extremist" groups forcing them to shut down and rendering their members ineligible to run in upcoming elections.
