Navalny says prison has designated him as a terrorist

Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny says a prison commission had designated him an extremist and a terrorist – but he’s no longer considered a flight risk

Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny said on Monday (October 11) that a prison commission has designated him an extremist and a terrorist – but that he’s no longer considered a flight risk.

Posting on Instagram, the 45-year-old said he has been summoned before a panel which voted unanimously in favor of the status change.

The decision marks a further escalation of pressure against President Vladimir Putin’s fiercest domestic critic.

Navalny is currently serving 2-and-a-half years in prison for parole violations he says were fabricated to thwart his political ambitions.

He made light of the announcement, saying that he was glad he was no longer considered prone to escape, and would therefore be subjected to less frequent and stringent night time checks by guards.

“It’s just that there is now a sign over my bunk that I am a terrorist, ” said Navalny in the Instagram post, which was published with the help of his lawyers.

There was no immediate confirmation from Russian authorities of the change in Navalny’s status.

The Federal Penitentiary Service did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

Navalny’s movement suffered a fresh blow back in June when a court ruled its activities to be extremist.

Last month, Russia opened a new criminal case against him that could keep him in jail for a further decade.

Iran buries nuclear site entrances amid rising tensions with the U.S.

Published

on

Satellite images reveal that Iran has buried all three tunnel entrances at its Isfahan nuclear complex. Analysts say the move mirrors defensive preparations taken before U.S. airstrikes devastated the facility last year, with no vehicle or personnel activity visible around the entrances.

The burial appears aimed at limiting damage from potential airstrikes and complicating any ground raid targeting enriched uranium stored in the underground facility. Experts suggest equipment or materials may have been moved into the tunnels for protection, though this remains unconfirmed.

The fortification comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. President Trump has demanded Iran curb its nuclear program, warning of military action, while Tehran insists halting uranium enrichment is unacceptable. Recent indirect talks in Oman showed little progress toward a new deal.

Trump hints at military pressure as U.S. and Iran resume nuclear talks

US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.

US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.

The United States and Iran have returned to the negotiating table in Oman, marking a fresh attempt to ease escalating nuclear tensions between the two long-time rivals. President Donald Trump described the talks as promising, suggesting momentum toward further discussions.

Iran’s Foreign Minister echoed cautious optimism, calling the meetings a positive first step while acknowledging deep-seated trust issues remain unresolved. At the heart of the talks is a major sticking point — the White House’s insistence that Iran dismantle its nuclear capability entirely.

Iran, however, maintains it has a sovereign right to enrich uranium, setting the stage for difficult negotiations ahead as both sides test whether diplomacy can hold.
