Jailed in Russia for a year, Post columnist Vladimir Kara-Murza delivered these remarks on Monday at the closing session of his trial in Moscow: “Such is the price for speaking up in Russia today. Even sitting in this cage, I believe in our people.”

Not only do I not repent of any of this, I am proud of it. I am proud that Boris Nemtsov brought me into politics. And I hope that he is not ashamed of me. I subscribe to every word that I have spoken and every word of which I have been accused by this court.

I blame myself for only one thing: that over the years of my political activity I have not managed to convince enough of my compatriots and enough politicians in the democratic countries of the danger that the current regime in the Kremlin poses for Russia and for the world. Today this is obvious to everyone, but at a terrible price — the price of war.In their last statements to the court, defendants usually ask for an acquittal.

He wasn't treated nearly as badly as Julian Assange, i suspect.

He probably feels like jan 6th prisoners

That's an awful portrait, unless this guy really does look like an insect.

A permanent worldwide campaign should be launched like it did for Mandela and led to his liberation and political legitimization, for the suffering cruelly jailed Russian heroes Navalny and Kara-Murza

Hilarious... He's guilty of breaking Russian law.. He also fronts NGOs that promote 'Freedom and democracy' Yep have to laugh, since all such dodgy NGOs are always US backed He's basically a US puppet and that's what upsets you. Now how about a piece on Julian Assange?🤡🤡🤡

Haha if I were Russian I would *not* believe in my people. Heck in America we have a lower proportion of MAGA than Russia prob has Putiners, and I distinctly do *not* believe in American people simply due to the MAGA poison among the populace and government.

I believe The Justice and The truth always beside on Him, through him the people could see many things that the Russia wants to hide from the public

Free Julian Assange

Yeah well totalitarianism

End the Commie Fascists!
