Vladimir Kara-Murza, a prominent opposition figure and journalist, has been sentenced to 25 years in a Siberian penal colony for criticizing Russia's invasion of Ukraine and affiliating with an "undesirable" group. Despite being poisoned twice, Kara-Murza chose to return to Russia to protest the invasion. Another activist, Ilya Yashin, who has vowed to stay in Russia despite the threat of imprisonment, was sentenced to eight and a half years for sharing misinformation about Ukrainian atrocities. In addition, two Americans, Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and former Marine Paul Whelan, are also detained in Russia under what the U.S. considers wrongful charges. Gershkovich faces espionage allegations, while Whelan is serving a 16-year sentence for fabricated espionage charges. Putin has hinted at a potential deal for their release, but Moscow previously rejected a proposal from the U.S. to secure their freedom.
