Russian Dissident Kara-Murza Transferred to Prison Hospital

Lawyers denied access as concerns grow over his health and treatment

Vladimir Kara-Murza, a vocal Kremlin critic, is serving a 25-year sentence for treason and other charges.
His wife and lawyers report being unable to visit him in the hospital, raising fears about his condition.
Kara-Murza has a history of severe health issues, including nerve damage from alleged poisonings in 2015 and 2017.
The transfer occurs amid a broader crackdown on dissent in Russia, with many activists and ordinary citizens facing harsh penalties.
International human rights groups and Western officials have repeatedly called for Kara-Murza's release.
