A court in Moscow has sentenced opposition leader Alexei Navalny to two years and eight months in a penal colony. The original three-and-a-half year sentence was reduced by the 10 months Navalny has already spent under house arrest. The latest charges were for violating parole conditions imposed in 2014 for embezzlement charges. He was arrested on his return from Germany on 17 January where he had been recovering from being poisoned by a nerve agent
