Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny talks to the media after the announcement of the verdict at a court building in Kirov
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny talks to the media after the announcement of the verdict at a court building in Kirov, October 16, 2013. Navalny's conviction for theft was upheld by an appeals court on Wednesday but his five-year jail sentence was suspended, allowing the prominent critic of President Vladimir Putin to walk free. The conviction, however, will prevent Navalny, who emerged from a wave of street protests as the most prominent opposition leader, from seeking elected office for years. Navalny was convicted in July of organising the theft of 16 million roubles ($500,000) from a timber firm in 2009. He had appealed the verdict and sentence, contending the case against him was fabricated and politically motivated. REUTERS/Maxim Shemetov (RUSSIA - Tags: POLITICS CIVIL UNREST CRIME LAW)
