Quick Glance: Russia: Vladimir Kara-Murza sentenced to 25 years in prison for vengeance
- On Monday, April 17, the trial of Russian opposition politician Vladimir Kara-Murza concluded with a sentence of 25 years in prison.
- As a result, Kara-Murza, 41, a father of three, was sentenced to 18 years in jail for "high treason," seven years for "disseminating false information about the work of the military" and three years for membership in a "undesirable organization."
- Because the overall duration of cumulative punishments is limited by law, the final judgement was 25 years in a terrible prison camp.
- Even though it was predicted, the extraordinarily harsh sentence sparked outrage among supporters of what was formerly Russia's opposition as well as in Western capitals.
