THE GUARDIAN: Opposition activist who has spoken out against war in Ukraine faces 20 years in prison if convicted
The Russian opposition activist Vladimir Kara-Murza, who has been imprisoned in Moscow since April, is being investigated for “high treason”, as the authorities step up their case against him for his criticism of the war in Ukraine.
The latest charges against Kara-Murza, a veteran critic of President Vladimir Putin, stem from allegations of “longtime cooperation with a Nato state”, according to the Russian state news agency Tass.
If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison. » | Pjotr Sauer | Thursday, October 6, 2022
