The Persecution of Putin's Critics: The Case of Vladimir Kara-Murza
TL;DR Summary
Russian opposition politician, Vladimir Kara-Murza, has been sentenced to 25 years in a high-security prison for his public criticism of President Vladimir Putin and Russia's war on Ukraine. Kara-Murza's wife, Evgenia, who lives in the US with their three children, fears for her safety if she travels to Russia. The UK Foreign Office has announced sanctions against one judge and two investigators involved in Kara-Murza's trial, as well as two Federal Security Service (FSB) agents suspected of links to his sudden, critical illness in 2015 and 2017 caused by a toxin that has never been identified.
