Russia on Monday sentenced Kremlin critic Vladimir Kara-Murza to 25 years in jail on charges including treason over criticism of the Ukraine offensive.
His high-profile trial is the latest in a string of cases against opposition voices in Russia, in a crackdown that has intensified since President Vladimir Putin sent troops to Ukraine last year.
In August 2022, Kara-Murza was accused of being affiliated with an "undesirable organization" for participating in a conference in support of political prisoners. Kara-Murza says he was poisoned twice because of his political activities, but he continued to spend long periods of time in Russia.
