俄反對派領袖遭軟禁

A Russian court has placed opposition leader Alexei Navalny under house arrest for at least two Months.

Investigators on Wednesday asked the court to put Navalny under house arrest, arguing he has violated travel restrictions during a criminal investigation against him.

Navalny was already serving a seven-day sentence after being detained Monday with hundreds of other demonstrators at an unauthorized protest rally in Moscow.

Last year, a Russian appeals court suspended his five-year prison sentence after the anti-corruption blogger was convicted in July of organizing the 2009 theft of some $500,000 from a timber firm. Navalny described the trial as politically motivated.

The latest charges against him and his brother, Oleg, include fraud and money laundering of well over $1 million.俄羅斯一個法庭決定將反對派領導人阿列克謝.納瓦爾尼軟禁至少兩個月。

調查人員星期三請求法庭將納瓦爾尼軟禁，說他在受到刑事調查期間違反了旅行限制。

納瓦爾尼已經被判服刑七天，星期一在莫斯科舉行的一次未經允許的抗議集會中，他和數以百計的示威者一道被拘押。

去年，俄羅斯一個上訴法院取消了對他5年監禁的判決。納瓦爾尼這位反腐博客作者去年7月被認定在2009年組織了盜竊一家木材公司大約50萬美元的行動。納瓦爾尼認爲那次判決是出於政治動機。

對納瓦爾尼和他兄弟奧列格最新的指控包括欺詐和洗錢, 其金額遠遠超過百萬美元。
