Russian authorities detain 3 lawyers for imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny after raids

Three lawyers representing Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny were detained by Russian authorities after their homes were searched. The move is seen as an attempt to isolate Navalny further. The lawyers were targeted as part of a criminal case on charges of participating in an extremist group. Navalny has been imprisoned since January 2021 and has faced multiple charges, which he claims are politically motivated.
