FILE - Russian opposition activist and a municipal deputy of the Krasnoselsky district Ilya Yashin stands in a cage at a court room during a hearing on his detention the Basmanny district court in Moscow, July 13, 2022. Yashin, 39, is one of the few prominent opposition figures that refused to leave Russia despite the unprecedented pressure the authorities have mounted on dissent in recent years. A sharp critic of the Kremlin, a vocal ally of imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny and an uncompromising member of a Moscow municipal council, Yashin was arrested in June.
