MOSCOW—A Russian court sentenced opposition leader Alexei Navalny to 30 days in jail on Aug. 27 after he was convicted of breaking public protest laws, which he claims is aimed at stopping him from leading a rally against pension reform next month.
Navalny, who was detained by police outside his home on Aug. 25, was found guilty of breaking the law by organizing an unauthorized Moscow rally on Jan. 28 which called for a boycott of what he predicted would be a rigged presidential election.
