Opposition activist Vladimir Kara-Murza has been sentenced to 25 years in jail in Russia for charges linked to his criticism of the war in Ukraine, reported British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
He was found guilty of treason, spreading "false" information about the Russian army and being affiliated with an "undesirable organization," said the report.
The Russian-British former journalist and politician is the latest of several Putin opponents to have been arrested or forced to flee Russia, the BBC report said, adding that he has denied all of the charges.
