Kremlin Critic Is Stable' in Russian Prison Hospital, Lawyer Says
Briefly

A lawyer for the jailed Kremlin critic Vladimir Kara-Murza said his client is in stable health after being moved to a Russian prison hospital last week without explanation and out of contact for six days.
It was the longest sentence given to any opposition politician in modern Russia, part of a widespread crackdown on those who dare to publicly oppose the Kremlin and its war on Ukraine.
His wife, Evgenia Kara-Murza, said last week that lawyers who had been trying to meet with him were told he had been taken to a prison hospital in the Siberian city of Omsk where he has been serving his sentence and that they were denied access to see him.
The most terrible things happen in silence and behind closed doors, so a huge thank you to everyone who worried and demanded that the lawyers be given access.
