“A court in Moscow on Monday convicted a top Kremlin foe on charges of treason and denigrating the Russian military and sentenced him to 25 years in prison.
Vladimir Kara – Muza Jr, a prominent opposition activist who survived two poisonings he blamed on the Kremlin, has been behind bars since his arrest a year ago.
He has rejected the charges against him as political and likened the judicial proceedings against him to the show trials during the rule of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.
Russia has adopted a law criminalizing spreading “false information” about its military shortly after it sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
Russian authorities have used the law to repress criticism of what the Kremlin calls “a special military operation.”
I thought Putin was finished destroying Russia and that’s why he started with Ukraine. My hats off to him. He can do two things at once.
I watched this guy on interviews on PBS and CNN. I remember being really worried about his safety when he spoke so honestly. I hate to see him in jail. This guy is more like Boris Nemtsov and less like the other fake “good” Russian opposition.
Pootin ordered to kill his father several years ago btw.
