Vladimir Putin has presided over a regime where political opponents have been neutralised, imprisoned or murdered and Kara-Murza is merely the latest example
Kara-Murza, 41, a father of three and an opposition politician who holds Russian and British passports, spent years speaking out against President Vladimir Putin and lobbied Western governments to impose sanctions on Russia and individual Russians for purported human rights violations.
Vladimir Kara-Murza joined a growing list of Russians who have received long jail terms after speaking out against President Vladimir Putin or the invasion of Ukraine. Alexei Navalny, Ilya Yashin, and Andrei Pivovarov are a few of the well-known cases
Vladimir Kara-Murza has been a fierce critic of Vladimir Putin and a loud voice against the Ukraine war. The 41-year-old, who holds dual Russian and British citizenship, was a close aide of assassinated Opposition leader Boris Nemtsov and played a critical role in the passing of the Magnitsky Act – a law that lets Washington freeze assets of high-profile Russians over human rights violations
Outspoken Kremlin critic Vladimir Kara-Murza was jailed for a quarter of a century by a Moscow court on Monday, the harshest sentence of its kind since Russia invaded Ukraine, after being found guilty of treason and other offences he denied.
