Elena Perepelitsa, a member of Russia’s liberal Yabloko party, has been sentenced to four years in prison for donating to Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation, which is labeled as an "extremist" organization by Russian authorities. This follows similar convictions against other Yabloko members Maxim Kruglov and Lev Shlosberg within the last few months. The increased pressure on opposition parties like Yabloko reflects Russia's stringent laws targeting those who express anti-war views or dissent since the start of the conflict in Ukraine.

Story summary
On October 8, Elena Perepelitsa, a member of Russia's Yabloko party which opposes the war in Ukraine, was sentenced to four years in a penal colony. She faced charges related to donating money to Alexei Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation, an organization designated as "extremist" and banned by Russian authorities. This is the third case of a Yabloko member being jailed within less than four months, indicating increased pressure on opposition parties since Russia largely barred them from contesting September’s parliamentary election. Perepelitsa denied knowingly financing extremist activity in her court statement, but she was still found guilty under stringent legal measures imposed by Russian authorities during the ongoing conflict with Ukraine.
