Vladimir Kara-Murza's 25-Year Sentence for Treason Upheld by Russian Supreme Court

The prominent Kremlin critic's appeal was rejected, maintaining the harshest sentence for dissent since the Ukraine invasion.

Kara-Murza was convicted for condemning Russia's actions in Ukraine and advocating for Western sanctions.
He was arrested in 2022 after publicly criticizing President Putin and the war in Ukraine.
The dissident has been held in solitary confinement in a Siberian maximum-security prison since September 2023.
British Foreign Secretary and Kara-Murza's wife have expressed serious concerns for his health and called for his release.
Kara-Murza recently received a Pulitzer Prize for his commentary written from prison.
