Russian police on Sunday detained four top allies of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny at a Moscow airport where they were to meet him on his return from Germany, a senior associate said.
Ivan Zhdanov, the head of Navalny s Anti-Corruption Foundation, said on Twitter that key ally Lyubov Sobol was among the four detained. Footage shot by local journalists showed police leading her and the others away.
Sobol, 33, rose to prominence in the summer of 2019 when she and other opposition politicians were barred from running for local council elections in Moscow. She has announced plans to ballot in this year s parliamentary vote.
