Several of the Russian opposition leader’s associates were ordered to remain under house arrest until March 23 by Moscow’s Tverskoy District Court on Friday, the Associated Press reported Friday. The brother of and several associates of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny were placed under house arrest for two months by Kremlin authorities in an attempt to prevent upcoming protests, the AP reported. Tens of thousands of people across Russia protested Navalny’s arrest and 30-day detention last weekend, and supporters have advertised another round of protests for Sunday which law enforcement responded to by announcing restrictions on pedestrian and subway access around Moscow’s city center. “You won’t succeed in scaring tens of millions of people who have been robbed by that government,” Navalny said from virtual court on Thursday, the AP reported.
