Flight carrying Kremlin critic Navalny lands in Moscow: AFP

MOSCOW, Jan 17, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – A flight carrying Kremlin critic
Alexei Navalny back to Russia has landed in Moscow after it was
diverted from a different airport where his supporters and media had
gathered, AFP journalists on the plane said.

The 44-year-old opposition figure risks imminent arrest. Russian
police on Sunday already detained four of his top allies who had
gathered at Vnukovo airport in Moscow, where he had been due to land,
before the flight was diverted to Sheremetyevo.
