Russian anti-war politician sentenced to 11 years
Russian opposition politician Lev Shlosberg has been sentenced to 11 years in a penal colony for “discrediting” the military and spreading false information about Russia’s armed forces. The court in Pskov found him guilty based on social media comments, with the prosecution seeking a 12-year sentence. Shlosberg and his party, Yabloko, which opposes Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, plan to appeal, as the government continues to crack down on dissent and disqualify opposition parties from participating in upcoming elections.
