MOSCOW (AP) — A courtroom in Moscow on Monday convicted a high Kremlin foe on prices of treason and denigrating the Russian army and sentenced him to 25 years in jail.
Vladimir Kara-Murza, Jr., a outstanding opposition activist who twice survived poisonings he blamed on the Kremlin, has been behind bars since his arrest a 12 months in the past. He has rejected the fees towards him as political and likened the judicial proceedings towards him to the present trials through the rule of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.
The fees towards Kara-Murza stem from his March 15 speech to the Arizona Home of Representatives by which he denounced Russia’s army motion in Ukraine. Investigators added the treason prices whereas he was in custody.
Russia adopted a legislation criminalizing spreading “false data” about its army shortly after it despatched troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. Authorities have used the legislation to stifle criticism of what the Kremlin calls “a particular army operation.”
