Navalny's lawyers were arrested as "members of an extremist community." But what about their lawyer status - doesn't that protect them?
And how will this case affect Russian law? (Spoiler: devastatingly) On Friday, October 13, 2023, Russian security forces detained several lawyers at once. The searches of Alexei Navalny's former and current defense attorneys — Igor Sergunin, Vadim Kobzev, and Alexei Liptser — became known in the morning. All three were immediately detained.
