Russian dissident says he thought he would die in 'Vladimir Putin's prison' | BBC News

A Russian opposition activist who was sentenced to 25 years in prison for treason said he thought he would die there.

Vladimir Kara-Murza, who is also a British citizen, has been vocal in his condemnation of Vladimir Putin and the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

On Thursday, he was part of the biggest ever Russian-American prisoner exchange since the Cold War.

Kara-Murza was taken to Germany where he saw his family for the first time in two-and-a-half years.

As a Russian citizen who's in Russia and against the war, i really wish them all the best, especially, considering the fact that Kara-Murza was one of creator of Magnitskii list, which basically meant that he would be next Navalny, simply saying, never get out of the jail or be killed...

Bravo Karamurza, you are the Russia that I love
No matter what the trollers said on this post one day Russia will be free...and that day is much closer that they think.

If you have followed how Putin treats his enemies, you will know that he is not out of the woods yet.

[psnaris]

I imagine Julian Assange felt much the same.

Russian bot-net and trolls are already here.

Why is BBC not posting any vids on UK riots? Thought this was a british news channel.

Mr Kara-Murza. Many in the west are very pleased to see you free and safe. You are exactly correct when you say we must think about saving human lives. We all very much would like to know and understand how you are going to help stop the unjustified invasion of Ukraine by Russia which has cost many thousands of innocent Ukrainian lives, and the displacement of many more. Are you going to help Ukraine

Guantanamo Bay, where individuals were held indefinitely, without charge, while simultaneously being tortured by the CIA…A Global Symbol of Injustice.

BBC not reporting on the riots in the UK why?

[olivka]

He went there because of his own will then he said he thought he would die. Please

[cinziamagrini]

Quanto ammiro KaraMurza❤e quanto vorrei che la sua salute tornasse a essere quella di una volta😢ha subito così tanto😮meravigliosa creatura❤❤❤❤

[personaldove]

He was dumb to go back.
Could have ended up like Navalny.

1:40 This part is a bit weird, is there no toilet or something in the room? How does he eat? It's very weird if it's just a room with 4 walls and nothing.

Ask him did he see ukrainian Azov soldiers in Siberian prison who imprisoned for a life sentence for defending Motherland Ukraine

[tommyjons-olve]

ok, but in Russia there is a ban on the death penalty. How could he be shot?

[shionuzuki]

Russian bots kicking in overdrive. Can we just cut the Internet to Russia?

[noclue]

I bet he will never commit another crime tho.

It is a pity Kara-Murza has turned out to be such a dissapointment calling to lift sanctions from Russia. I now very much doubt his jugment may be taken seriously. He does not have a clue how to destroy Putin's regime.
