Appeal - Russian style

Apr 3rd 2024 The Washington Post

The Russian Supreme Court will consider an appeal against the sentence of Vladimir Kara-Murza, who was sentenced to 25 years, for five public statements he made against the war in Ukraine and Vladimir Putin’s regime.

Kara-Murza is being held in Prison Colony No. 7 in Omsk, and was blocked from taking part in the hearing via video link. (This is Russia, what did you expect.)

Instead, he sent the court a written statement.

I am proud to have spoken out against Putin’s crimes in Ukraine
