Russian Doctor Sentenced to 5 Years for Anti-War Criticism
TL;DR Summary
A Russian court sentenced 68-year-old Moscow pediatrician Nadezhda Buyanova to five and a half years in prison for allegedly criticizing Russian soldiers in Ukraine, following accusations by a patient's mother. The case, lacking solid evidence and based on testimony from the mother and her child, highlights the intensifying repression in Russia against dissenters of the Ukraine war. Human rights groups have condemned the verdict, with Memorial listing Buyanova as a political prisoner. The case underscores the climate of fear and denunciation in Russia, reminiscent of Stalin-era repressions.
