A Local Culinary Adventure: inspired by Halifax's Seaport Market | SaltWire #cooking #cookingtipsLONDON - Veteran rights campaigner Oleg Orlov urged a Moscow court on Wednesday to acquit him of discrediting the armed forces by speaking out against the war in Ukraine, saying Russians had the right to disagree with their president.
"Where is it defined that our commander-in-chief always rightly understands not only the interests of Russia, but the interests of its citizens?" Orlov asked in his closing speech at a trial which began in June. "But in that case, the president is no longer a president, but a spiritual and secular leader... Or are Russia's top officials now infallible, like the Pope?"
Since its invasion of Ukraine, Moscow has intensified a long-running crackdown on all forms of political dissent and made it an offence to"discredit" the armed forces or deviate from government accounts of the war it describes as a"special military operation".
