Kazan Court Sentences Alsu Kurmasheva to 6.5 Years for 'War Fakes'
Jul 22, 2024, 03:35 PM
A Kazan court in Russia's Republic of Tatarstan has sentenced Alsu Kurmasheva, a Russian-American journalist working for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), to six and a half years in prison for allegedly spreading false information about the Russian military. Kurmasheva, who holds dual U.S. and Russian citizenship, was convicted in a secret trial for spreading 'war fakes.' She was detained on October 18 while trying to return to the Czech Republic after visiting Russia for personal business. The court's decision has drawn significant criticism from various quarters, including her employer, who described the ruling as a 'mockery of justice.'
