The Moscow Prosecutor's Office has filed a lawsuit with Moscow City Court seeking to label jailed Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny's anti-corruption foundation and his headquarters as 'extremist' organisations. 9News

The Moscow Prosecutor's Office filed a lawsuit on Friday with Moscow City Court seeking to label jailed Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny's anti-corruption foundation known as FBK and his headquarters as "extremist" organisations.

Attending physicians for Mr Navalny, an outspoken critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, said on Saturday on Twitter they wrote a letter to Russian prison services requesting access to see Mr Navalny. The statement said Mr Navalny was transferred back to his prison squad due to an "improvement" of his health condition.

As President Joe Biden departed Wilmington Country Club in Delaware on Saturday, he was asked about Alexei Navalny's condition in prison. He told reporters that it's "totally, totally unfair, totally inappropriate." In a Facebook post, she said a rally is "being prepared to demand the release of Alexey. And it will be huge too. But I don't want it to happen for other reasons."

Russia considers labelling Alexei Navalny's foundation an extremist group | Sky News AustraliaA court in Russia is considering whether to label groups linked to the jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny as extremist organisations. \n\nAccording to Mr Navalny’s chief of staff, prosecutors have asked the courts to prohibit the groups from publishing anything online, organising protests, and taking part in elections.\n\nIf Mr Navalny’s crowdfunded anticorruption group was to be labelled extremist, supporters would be liable for long jail terms for financing and organising extremist activity.\n\nThe process of declaring the groups as extremist will also be classified as Russia deems the actions of Mr Navalny’s foundation a state secret.\n What would Dutto do? Here's a better idea - 'label' Vlad and his henchmen, an extremist organisation. 😠 You can bet that the Murdoch funded IPA is watching carefully and preparing policy and draft laws to allow the LNP to silence any opposition
