Kremlin Critic Kara-Murza Moved To Prison Hospital
The wife of imprisoned Kremlin critic Vladimir Kara-Murza says he was transferred from a maximum prison facility to a prison hospital late on June 4. Yevgenia Kara-Murza said her 42-year-old husband's lawyers were not allowed to see him. She said he was sent "from the maximum security penal colony IK-6 in Omsk to the FKLPU Regional Hospital 11 of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia for Omsk Oblast." Kara-Murza, who has survived two serious bouts with illness that were consistent with poisoning, holds Russian and British passports. He was initially arrested in April 2022 after returning from abroad and charged with disobeying a police officer but was later charged with discrediting the Russian military and treason over remarks he made about Kremlin policies. In April 2023, he was found guilty on all charges and sentenced to 25 years in prison.
