Police have carried out searches of the houses of two former employees of jailed opposition politician Aleksei Navalny's headquarters in the cities of Tambov and Tver for unspecified reasons. Rights monitor OVD-Info reported that Igor Slivin, who worked with Navalny's group in Tambov, was questioned and then released on July 14. He was told he's a witness in a criminal case on the creation of an extremist community. In Tver, Pavel Kuzmin's house was searched even though he left months before it was declared an extremist group. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Russian Service, click here.
