Jailed Russian Opposition Leader Alexei Navalny Says New Charges Could Bring Life Sentence 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Russia, jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny said Wednesday he's
facing additional charges of terrorism in Russia that could bring him a
life sentence. Navalny, visibly gaunt, rejected the charges while
speaking via video link from prison during an appearance before a Moscow
court. Navalny's microphone was cut after he alluded to his time spent
in solitary confinement.
