Kremlin critic Kara-Murza sentenced to 25 years in jail

Russia sentences Kremlin critic Vladimir Kara-Murza to 25 years in jail on charges including treason, amid an intensifying crackdown on opposition voices since Russia invaded Ukraine.

Following a closed-door trial, the court says it has found Kara-Murza guilty of high treason, spreading “false” information about the Russian army, and being affiliated with an “undesirable organization.”
