Russian opposition politician Vladimir Kara-Murza, who was sentenced in April to 25 years in prison after being convicted of state treason, said on June 18 that prison authorities have stopped delivering letters to him. Kara-Murza, who is being held in a Moscow remand prison, made the announcement on his Telegram channel. He said that earlier prison censors had stopped approving his outgoing correspondence. Earlier, Kara-Murza’s wife, Yevgenia, accused the authorities of “torturing” her husband by not allowing him to see their children for more than a year.
