EU slams ‘outrageously harsh’ sentence for Kremlin critic

The European Union condemns Russia’s sentencing of opposition activist Vladimir Kara-Murza to 25 years in jail on “politically motivated charges.”

“Today’s outrageously harsh court decision clearly demonstrates yet again the political misuse of judiciary in order to pressure activists, human rights defenders and any voices opposing Russia’s illegitimate war of aggression against Ukraine,” EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell says.
