Russian prosecutors have demanded prison terms of nearly six years each for three lawyers who represented Alexei Navalny, an ally of the late opposition leader said on Tuesday.

Vadim Kobzev, Igor Sergunin and Alexei Liptser are accused of taking part in an extremist organisation. They were arrested in October 2023 and added the following month to an official list of "terrorists and extremists".
