PoliticsRussian court sentences war critic Lev Shlosberg to 11 years in prison

A Russian court sentenced Lev Shlosberg, a senior member of the anti-war Yabloko party, to 11 years and one month in prison. He was accused of “discrediting” the Russian military and spreading “false information,” charges he rejected as baseless. Yabloko said he would appeal, while Amnesty International condemned the ruling as blatant retaliation for his calls for peace and exercise of free speech.
