The two sanctioned entities are the prisons where Navalny was kept in custody for years after he returned to Russia in 2021, after surviving an apparent assassination attempt.
The EU Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime was used to enact the measures. It now lists 104 people and 24 entities from different countries, including China, Eritrea and Libya.
Navalny, who was Russian President Vladimir Putin’s key political nemesis, died in prison in Russia’s far north on February 16. At least 27,000 people gathered in his memory at a funeral earlier this month.
Russian authorities blamed the 47-year-old Navalny’s death on natural causes.
