Russian Doctor Sentenced to 5 Years for Anti-War Remarks

Dr. Nadezhda Buyanova, a 68-year-old pediatrician, was sentenced to 5.5 years in prison in Russia for allegedly spreading false information about the Russian military after criticizing the war in Ukraine. The case, which has drawn significant public attention and outcry, highlights the Kremlin's ongoing crackdown on dissent. Buyanova, who denies the accusations, was reported by a patient's mother, leading to a high-profile trial despite a lack of evidence. Her conviction is part of broader efforts to suppress criticism of Russia's actions in Ukraine.
