MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian court on Wednesday rejected an appeal by Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny's lawyers against a decision to label his Anti-Corruption Foundation an "extremist" group, his lawyers said, a move that outlaws it and other organisations.

"The decision has been left in place without any changes," a representative of lawyer Ivan Pavlov wrote on Telegram.
