A judge in Moscow upheld a defamation conviction against jailed Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny, in his first public appearance since he went on hunger strike. As per report, Navalny used the platform to launch a broadside against President Vladimir Putin and his government, likening him to the foolish "naked king" from "The Emperor's New Clothes" children's tale and calling the judge and prosecutors "traitors."
