The wife of Russian dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza said the lives of many political prisoners in Russia were at risk in the wake of Alexei Navalny’s death.
The wife of jailed Russian dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza said on Monday the lives of many political prisoners in Russia, including her husband’s, were at risk in the wake of Alexei Navalny’s death in an Arctic penal colony last month. Kara-Murza, who had condemned Russia’s war in Ukraine and lobbied for Western sanctions against Moscow, was sentenced to 25 years last April on treason and other charges that he denied, comparing the case against him to a Stalinist show trial.
The Kremlin has denied any state involvement in his death. Evgenia Kara-Murza said other activists, including Alexandra Skochilenko, jailed for protesting against the war in Ukraine by replacing supermarket price tags with calls to stop the conflict, and Alexei Gorinov, a Moscow district councillor also jailed for criticizing Russia’s invasion, were also at risk.
