Vladimir Kara-Murza joined a growing list of Russians who have received jail terms after speaking out against President Vladimir Putin or the invasion of Ukraine.
Kara-Murza, 41, was convicted by a Moscow court over a series of interviews and speeches last year in which he condemned Russia's leadership and the war in Ukraine. The 25-year term he received was the harshest of its kind since Russia invaded its neighbour last February.Navalny, the most prominent opposition figure in Russia, is serving sentences totalling 11-1/2 years at the IK-6 penal colony at Melekhovo, about 235 km east of Moscow.
Gorinov, a Moscow district councillor, was jailed for seven years in July 2022 on charges of spreading false information about the armed forces. He had told a council meeting in March that children were"dying every day" in Ukraine. Gorinov was the first person to be jailed under harsh new censorship laws that were passed eight days after the start of the war.
