KIROV, Russia – Main opposition leader in Russia Alexei Navalny has been ruled out of future elections in Russia. He was ruled out of election following his conviction by a court in a provincial city of Kirov.




The judgment effectively bars him from running for president next year against President Vladimir Putin.
The court found him guilty of embezzlement in relation to a timber company called Kirovles. He was also fined 500,000 Rouble, about $8,500.

Navalny denied all the charges proffered against him and has vowed to take part in the race regardless of the judgement.
His conviction came in a retrial after the European Court of Human Rights ruled the first trial to be unfair.
