He pointed out that before coming out with a decision, a consensus must be reached between those favoring and those opposing its use. “There are different positions on Dengvaxia, so it would be good if there will be consensus among experts.

Georgy Alburov, an employee of Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Fund, was among around 1,000 people detained on Saturday during a protest “stroll” in central Moscow. It was the opposition’s latest rally against the exclusion of independent candidates from local elections. On Monday, the 29-year-old Alburov was jailed for 10 days over violating a protest law. Alburov claimed he was punished for co-authoring an investigation into the Moscow mayor’s first deputy whom he accused of corruption.

Russia jails Kremlin critic Navalny for 10 days
MOSCOW (REUTERS) - A Moscow court jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny for 10 days on Monday (July 1) after finding him guilty of breaking the law when he took part in a street demonstration last month. The Kremlin critic was among more than 500 protesters detained by police while rallying in Moscow to call for the punishment of police officers involved in the alleged framing of a journalist. The protest came after police abruptly dropped drug charges against investigative journalist Ivan Golunov, a rare U-turn by the authorities in the face of anger from his supporters who said he was targeted for his reporting.

If we remain silent and … [Read more...] about Russia jails Kremlin critic Navalny for 10 days
