This is the best summary I could come up with:


She is accused of collecting material, producing and editing videos and publications for Navalny’s Foundation for Fighting Corruption, which had been outlawed as extremist by Russian authorities, according to court officials.

She spent 10 days in jail after being accused of disobedience toward the police, but when that period of detention ended, authorities charged her again and ordered her to appear in court on Friday, according to OVD-Info, a Russian human rights group.

Kira Yarmysh, the spokesperson for Navalny, said that Favorskaya did not publish anything on the Foundation’s platforms and suggested that Russian authorities had targeted her because she was doing her job as a journalist.

Favorskaya covered Navalny’s court hearings for years, as well as trials of other Kremlin critics caught up in a relentless government clampdown.

Her jailing came on the first anniversary of the arrest of Evan Gershkovich, a 32-year-old reporter for the Wall Street Journal who is awaiting trial in Moscow’s notorious Lefortovo Prison on espionage charges, which he and his employer have vehemently denied.

The US government has declared Gershkovich wrongfully detained, and officials have accused Moscow of using the journalist as a pawn for political ends.
