A top Kremlin foe was convicted Monday on charges of treason and denigrating the Russian military and sentenced him to 25 years in prison after a trial that marked the latest move in a relentless crackdown on the opposition amid the fighting in Ukraine.
“I know that the day will come when the darkness engulfing our country will clear,” Kara-Murza, a father of three, said at his closed trial last week in remarks that were posted on social networks and Russian opposition media. “And then our society will open its eyes and shudder when it realizes what terrible crimes were committed in its name.
Kara-Murza sits in a cage in the courtroom prior to a court session in Moscow, Russia, on Feb. 8, 2023.The charges against Kara-Murza stem from his March 2022 speech to the Arizona House of Representatives in which he denounced Russia’s military action in Ukraine. Kara-Murza, a journalist, was an associate of Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov, who was killed near the Kremlin in 2015.
Good!! 👏👏👏
For every regular American saying this is terrible, there’s a person at the FBI that’s hopeful we can become as effective as Russia at policing thought one day.
俄罗斯这个没什么大不了的。 在我的国家 丈夫被抓，中共政府因为妻子为自己丈夫喊冤也被抓了。还要判刑，刑事拘留。
Putin transformed Russia to an ugly failed state.
