This Tuesday, one week after Alexei Navalny’s death, Oleg Orlov, a 70-year-old human rights advocate and co-chairman of the Nobel-Prize winning human rights group Memorial, was convicted under the newly-instituted crime of “repeatedly discrediting” the Russian Armed Forces.
It's always darkest before the dawn.
Freedom to political prisoners!

Today, a court in Moscow sentenced leading Russian rights defender Oleg Orlov, to 2.5 years in prison, on politically motivated charges of “discrediting” Russia’s armed forces in what was clearly a farcical trial. A dark and shameful day for #Russia https://t.co/C9JJXxul8f
Brilliant speech by Russian dissident #IlyaYashin (Илья Яшин @IlyaYashin) on having his sentence in a Russian prison confirmed on 19 April 2023: I may soon cede my place in jail to #Putin the War Criminal with his crimes against #Ukraine and against #Russia.
