Kara-Murza, Putin Critic, Sentenced to Siberian Penal Colony
Russian opposition politician Vladimir Kara-Murza, who was sentenced to 25 years on treason charges and for criticizing Moscow's Ukraine offensive, has been brought to a maximum-security Siberian prison to serve his punishment. Kara-Murza, a dual Russian-British citizen, was placed in an isolation cell upon arrival. His lawyers and family have expressed concerns about his fragile health due to a nerve condition caused by two poisoning attempts. The lengthy sentence and crackdown on dissent highlight the ongoing repression of opposition figures in Russia.
