Moscow, June 11 (TIWN) A Russian court has banned several organisations of jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, classifying them as extremist.

The prosecution in Moscow said that Navalny's movement was destabilising the "socio-political situation in the country", reports dpa news agency.   It was calling for "extremist activities, mass unrest - also trying to implicate minors in illegal activities", the prosecutor said.   Based on a new law, Navalny's supporters may now not stand for the upcoming parliamentary elections in autumn.   The law, which was implemented a few days ago, excludes supporters of extremist organisations from running in elections.   Navalny's supporters had slammed the trial as politically motivated and as a means of silencing the opposition.
