From his prison cell in Siberia, opposition figure Vladimir Kara-Murza has raised concerns about a state-backed hit squad allegedly targeting opponents of President Vladimir Putin. Kara-Murza, serving a 25-year sentence for treason, spoke out against the recent death of Alexei Navalny and the ongoing crackdown on dissent in Russia.
During a court appearance via video link, Kara-Murza accused Russia's Investigative Committee of failing to properly investigate two poisoning attempts against him in 2015 and 2017. He claimed that a group of FSB officers, acting as a 'death squad,' were responsible for targeting political opponents of the Putin regime.
