BREAKING: Moscow court convicts leading Putin critic Vladimir Kara-Murza on charges of treason and denigrating the Russian military, sentencing him to 25 years in prison.

Vladimir Kara-Murza, Jr., awho twice survived poisonings he blamed on the Kremlin, has been behind bars since his arrest a year ago.

In his final statement last week, Kara-Murza said that he remains proud of standing up to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “dictatorship” and his decision to send troops into Ukraine. The charges against Kara-Murza stem from his March 15 speech to the Arizona House of Representatives in which he denounced Russia’s military action in Ukraine. Investigators added the treason charges while he was in custody.

Marx had the good sense to publish his complaints against the Tsars from London.

Sounds like something Biden would do

And I always though that 'The Truth Will Set You Free'?!?

That's one way to silence your critics.

They should sent that fool to siberia what a disgrace to mother Russia

Deport the guy!!

I notice you fail to note NBC that this is exactly the kind of thing that Trump and his fascist party will bring here when they suspend The Constitution. But you hide that, and disguise them as 'Republicans' or merely 'conservatives' as if it's 1977.

That's excellent news

Read the leaked secret intelligence documents on Ukraine and Vladimir PutinThe Russian leader and his circle have seen all the documents by now, and he'd probably prefer that no one else did. That's concerning. I'm worried that the documents could be used for shady or illegal purposes. Hopefully, the documents will remain secure and out of the wrong hands. Shame on you Newsweek
