MOSCOW--Top Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny on Tuesday urged his supporters to take to the streets and called for President Vladimir Putin's regime to be "destroyed" after a court sent his brother to jail in a controversial fraud trial.
"This regime has no right to exist, it must be destroyed," he said outside the courtroom after a judge handed him a suspended sentence but jailed his younger brother for three and a half years as part of an embezzlement case that he says was politically motivated. "I call on everyone to take to the streets today."
