Russian court jails Yabloko politician 4 years for Navalny group donation

Elena Perepelitsa, a Yabloko member, was sentenced to four years in prison for donating to a Navalny-affiliated group, marking the third Yabloko member jailed in under four months. This signals an intensified crackdown on opposition figures in Russia, extending beyond Navalny's inner circle to mainstream liberal parties. The pattern suggests a deliberate campaign to suppress political dissent ahead of potential electoral cycles.
