Russian Teen Sentenced for Anti-War Actions
Tap title to read story
A St. Petersburg court sentenced 19-year-old Darya Kozyreva to two years and eight months in a penal colony for repeatedly "discrediting" the Russian army. Kozyreva's actions included gluing a Ukrainian poem to a statue and giving an anti-war interview. The sentence, condemned by Amnesty International, follows a pattern of Russia suppressing anti-war dissent, with thousands detained and imprisoned for expressing opposition to the war in Ukraine. Kozyreva's lawyer plans to appeal the verdict.
