☆ Russian Opposition Figure Kara-Murza Has Disappeared From Prison, Colleagues Say
  + stars: | 2024-01-29 | by ( Associated Press | Jan. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +2 min
Supporters of prominent Russian opposition figure Vladimir Kara-Murza Jr., who is serving a 25-year sentence for treason, said Monday that he has disappeared from the Siberian prison where he was behind bars. Transfers within Russia’s prison system are shrouded in secrecy and inmates can disappear from contact for several weeks. Backers of Russia's most noted opposition figure, Alexei Navalny, were alarmed in December when he couldn't be found. Navalny, serving a 19-year sentence, resurfaced in a prison colony above the Arctic Circle. He previously had been held in the Vladimir region in central Russia about 230 kilometers (140 miles) from Moscow.

"I have always had a keen sense of justice," Gominova told a Reuters reporter based in Poland. "Defending protesters in court is my version of protest," said Gominova, who began representing anti-war activists in court almost immediately after the invasion. With numerous civil society groups disbanded by the state, many other lawyers also defend anti-war activists independently, but it is hard to determine how many. Several Russian lawyers have attracted the attention – and condemnation – of authorities, not only for defending critics of the invasion but also for expressing their own opposition. Before the Ukraine conflict, Gominova, in St Petersburg, worked mainly on civil cases ranging from family disputes to consumer rights.

Less than two weeks before Kremlin critic Vladimir Kara-Murza was given 25 years in prison on treason charges last month, in the harshest sentence against a Russian opposition activist in years, his longtime lawyer and friend Vadim Prokhorov fled Russia. Mr. Prokhorov had given interviews and made statements about Mr. Kara-Murza’s closed trial, seeing himself as a public voice for a defendant without one. But when the prosecutors and judge threatened him with criminal charges, he understood it was time to go.
☆ Russian journalists demand politician Kara-Murza's release ahead of 'Stalinist' treason verdict

The appeal to release Vladimir Kara-Murza, 41, came ahead of a court hearing in Moscow as his trial, which the journalists likened to the political terror meted out by Soviet leader Josef Stalin in the 1930s, draws to a close. Russian state prosecutors on Thursday requested a 25-year prison sentence for Kara-Murza, a father of three and author and former journalist who holds Russian and British passports. The letter petitioning for Kara-Murza's release was signed by many journalists who have fled the country. "We demand that the Russian authorities, law enforcement officers and judges return to the path of justice. Russian authorities deny any involvement in the alleged attacks.
