Welcome back to #freedom, @vkaramurza! This news is a tremendous relief to all those who know and love him - none more than his wife and fellow activist @ekaramurza and their three children. raoulwallenbergcentre.org/en/news/2024-0…

Today, our friend and Senior Fellow @vkaramurza was unjustly sentenced to 25 years in prison. His unlawful imprisonment cannot go unanswered. We must not relent until Vladimir is free. His wife and children need him free. Russia needs him free. The world needs him free. #FreeVKM

Thinking of my friend @vkaramurza, a ray of light piercing through the darkest clouds of oppression. A hero of #Russia, today he was convicted to 25 years in prison for telling the truth about #Putin crimes His jailers already tried to kill him twice. We must secure his release.

Securing honorary citizenship is an important victory in our advocacy efforts for @vkaramurza. Still, his unlawful imprisonment cannot go unanswered. His wife and children need him free. Russia needs him free. The world needs him free. We won’t stop until he is #free.
