Condamnarea primită de un lider din singurul partid anti-război din Rusia, la câteva zile după ce formațiunii i-a fost interzis să intre în alegeri

Lev Shlosberg, a leader of Russia's only anti-war party, was sentenced to over 11 years in prison after his party was barred from elections. He was accused of discrediting the military and spreading false information about the war in Ukraine. Shlosberg maintained his innocence, claiming political persecution and called for an immediate ceasefire. The Russian Supreme Court upheld the ban on his party, Iabloko, which has faced significant pressure from authorities. Shlosberg criticized the war, highlighting the rising death toll and the impact on Russian society. His statements were frequently interrupted in court, reflecting the oppressive atmosphere surrounding dissent in Russia.
