MOSCOW—A Moscow court on Feb. 1 ordered the wife of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny to pay a fine of 20,000 rubles ($265) for violating protest regulations after she attended a demonstration in the Russian capital to demand his release.
Tens of thousands protested across Russia’s 11 time zones on Jan. 31, chanting slogans against Russian President Vladimir Putin and demanding that authorities free Navalny, who was jailed last month and faces a prison term. More than 5,400 protesters were detained by authorities, one group said.
