A Moscow court has sentenced one of Russia's best-known opposition leaders, whose family live in the U.S., to 25 years in prison in what is widely seen a show trial.
Kara-Murza was convicted of treason, as well as"discrediting Russia's armed forces," a new law that effectively criminalizes criticizing the war in Ukraine. He was also convicted of belonging to a banned organization. The charges are widely seen as politically motivated.Kara-Murza, who holds both British and Russian citizenship, spent many years living in the United States and his wife and children still live in Virginia. He was close to the late U.S. Sen.
Kara-Murza previously has survived being poisoned not once but twice. In 2015 and then again in 2017, he suffered organ failure after being exposed to an unknown toxin. Independent researchers later linked the poisoning to the same team of FSB poisoners who targeted Navalny.
