Kremlin critic Navalny to spend two years and eight months in jail - lawyer

Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny will spend two years and eight months in jail instead of the full three-and-a-half-year term he was handed on Tuesday because of time under house arrest he has earlier served, his lawyer said on Tuesday.

A court sentenced Navalny earlier to three-and-a-half years in jail after ruling he had violated the terms of his parole.
