The wife of jailed Kremlin critic Vladimir Kara-Murza, Evgenia Kara-Murza, is calling for prisoner exchanges to secure the release of her husband and other poltical detainees in Russia. Opposition politician Vladimir Kara-Murza is currently serving a 25-year sentence for accusing Russia of war crimes in Ukraine. It’s the harshest known sentence that’s been handed down so far for speaking out against Russia’s war of aggression. Kara-Murza, who is also a British citizen, suffers from serious health problems which his lawyers say were due to two poisoning attempts orchestrated by Russia’s security service. There are currently hundreds of political prisoners in Russia. How successful is Putin in silencing dissent?
