Jurors in Florida are set to deliberate in the trial of four activists accused of illegally acting as Russian agents to help the Kremlin sow political discord and interfere in U.S. elections. The defendants, affiliated with the African People’s Socialist Party and Uhuru Movement, face charges related to their alleged collaboration with the Russian government.
The accused individuals include an 82-year-old chairman of the U.S.-based organization focused on Black empowerment and reparations for slavery, as well as two leaders of branches of the group’s white allies. A fourth defendant, who established his own group in Atlanta, is also part of the trial.
