On Friday, Kremlin critic Alexei Gorinov, already serving a seven-year prison term for criticizing Russia's invasion of Ukraine, was convicted again and handed a three-year prison sentence. The 63-year-old former Moscow municipal council member faced a three-day trial that highlighted Russia's crackdown on dissent.
Gorinov's latest conviction in the Vladimir region court brings his total prison time to five years in a maximum-security facility. His lawyer confirmed that this new sentence extends his time behind bars by a year compared to his initial conviction.
