Exiled Politician Leonid Gozman Sentenced to 10 Years in Absentia for ‘Justifying Terrorism’

Exiled politician Leonid Gozman has been sentenced to 10 years in prison in absentia for allegedly justifying terrorism, according to state investigators. The charges stem from an interview he gave to a foreign media outlet in 223. State officials have not provided further details on the specific statements Gozman made that led to the charges. The case has sparked debate among human rights organizations and political analysts, who are scrutinizing the implications of such charges for political dissent and freedom of expression.
