The wife of the jailed Russian-British citizen Vladimir Kara-Murza says she fears every day for her husband’s life on the second anniversary of his arrest, as worries grow that the veteran politician could be the next dissident to die behind bars in Russia.
Kara-Murza, 42, was detained in Moscow on 11 April 2022 and later sentenced to 25 years on treason and other trumped-up charges, in a case that he compared to a Stalinist show trial. At the time of his arrest, he was one of the few prominent opposition figures who chose to stay in Russia, despite friends pleading with him to leave.
