The Russian opposition politician and journalist Vladimir Kara-Murza, who was sentenced to 25 years in a penal colony, has been taken to hospital. According to his wife, Jevgenija Kara-Murza, his lawyers have been denied access to him and she is concerned about his state of health.
The Kremlin critic, who is both a Russian and a British citizen, suffers from a nervous disorder after being poisoned in 2015 and 2017, which is believed to have been carried out by Russia’s FSB security service.
Kara-Murza was sentenced in April 2023 to 25 years in prison for treason after denouncing Russia’s war of invasion against Ukraine, the single harshest sentence handed down to a Kremlin critic in modern Russia.
Since September 2023, he has been serving his sentence in a high-security prison in Omsk in western Siberia. In May of this year, Kara-Murza was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her previous columns in The Washington Post.
