俄反对派领袖遭软禁

A Russian court has placed opposition leader Alexei Navalny under house arrest for at least two months.

Investigators on Wednesday asked the court to put Navalny under house arrest, arguing he has violated travel restrictions during a criminal investigation against him.

Navalny was already serving a seven-day sentence after being detained Monday with hundreds of other demonstrators at an unauthorized protest rally in Moscow.

Last year, a Russian appeals court suspended his five-year prison sentence after the anti-corruption blogger was convicted in July of organizing the 2009 theft of some $500,000 from a timber firm. Navalny described the trial as politically motivated.

The latest charges against him and his brother, Oleg, include fraud and money laundering of well over $1 million.

调查人员星期三请求法庭将纳瓦尔尼软禁，说他在受到刑事调查期间违反了旅行限制。

纳瓦尔尼已经被判服刑七天，星期一在莫斯科举行的一次未经允许的抗议集会中，他和数以百计的示威者一道被拘押。

去年，俄罗斯一个上诉法院取消了对他5年监禁的判决。纳瓦尔尼这位反腐博客作者去年7月被认定在2009年组织了盗窃一家木材公司大约50万美元的行动。纳瓦尔尼认为那次判决是出于政治动机。

对纳瓦尔尼和他兄弟奥列格最新的指控包括欺诈和洗钱, 其金额远远超过百万美元。
