Putin critic Alexei Navalny gets 19 years added to jail term

Jailed Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny had an extra 19 years added to his jail term on Friday, in a criminal case which he and his supporters said was made up to keep him behind bars and out of politics for even longer. Navalny, known as President Vladimir Putin’s fiercest domestic critic, is already serving sentences totalling 11-1/2 years on fraud and other charges that he says are also bogus.
