The 235th military court in Moscow rejected Navalny’s complaint, a court spokesman told AFP.
Navalny, who accused the Russian Federal Security Service of poisoning, was not present at the hearing and refused to participate via video call.
Navalny accuses Russian investigators of failing to launch a criminal investigation to find out who is responsible for his poisoning with combatants Newbie.
On August 20 last year, Navalny was ill during a flight from Tomsk to Moscow, and was unconsciously taken to Omsk Hospital with symptoms of poisoning.
On August 22, Navalny was transferred from Russia to Germany, where he was treated at the University Clinic in Berlin. Charite.
On 2 September, Germany stated that indisputable evidence had been obtained that Navalny had been poisoned by a nerve-paralyzing warfare substance belonging to the group Newbie groups. This conclusion has also been confirmed by laboratories in France and Sweden, as well as by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
Siberian police conducted an initial investigation after Navalny was ill and hospitalized, but refused to open a criminal investigation, stating that there was no evidence that a crime had taken place.
After treatment in Germany, Navalny returned to Russia in mid-January and was immediately detained.
The Federal Penitentiary Service explained Navalny’s detention by saying that Navalny had violated the terms of the suspended sentence imposed on him in 2014, and the court commuted it to a real prison sentence.
The arrest of Navalny in Russia sparked widespread protests, during which police detained about 11,000 people.
Navalni considers the case, which was convicted of fraud in 2014, fabricated, and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in 2017 found that the right of the opposition to a fair trial was violated in this case. Navalny was compensated, but the Russian Supreme Court upheld the verdict and refused to change it.
The ECtHR requested the release of Navalny in February because it saw the applicant’s health and life as a danger. However, the Russian government rejected the ECtHR’s claim, calling it unlawful interference in Russia’s internal affairs.
Russian officials have also rejected calls by the United States and the European Union (EU) to release Navalny and stop repressing his supporters.
Navalny believes his poisoning is backed by the Kremlin, which has denied the allegations and accused the German authorities of refusing to cooperate in the investigation.
Moscow has refused to investigate the matter, and several officials have even said that Navalny may have been poisoned in Germany or self-poisoned.
