Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
Russian-Israeli scientist Dr. Sofia Rosenfeld was sentenced to three and a half years in prison by a Moscow court for donating a small sum to an organization linked to Alexei Navalny. Rosenfeld, who holds Israeli citizenship, argued she was unaware the foundation was deemed "extremist" at the time of the donations due to her participation in an Arctic expedition. She is currently in custody pending a transfer to a penal colony, and her lawyers intend to appeal the sentence. Her father is seeking Israeli government assistance to bring her to Israel.
