Vladimir Kara-Murza: "I do not understand the accusation, and I plead not guilty."
The trial of @vkaramurza, an opposition politician, journalist, and historian, began on March 13, 2023, in Moscow amidst tight security measures.
1/
The politician faces charges under 3 articles, including high treason, and could potentially receive a prison sentence of up to 25 years. All hearings related to the Kara-Murza case will take place behind closed doors, with journalists and diplomats being barred from the court
2/
In the first hearing, Vadim Prokhorov, Kara-Murza's lawyer, challenged Judge Sergei Podoprigorov on the basis that he was on the #Magnitsky List and therefore might not be objective. However, Mr. Kara-Murza himself had promoted this list in 2012.

Police officers forcefully detained civil activist Orynbay #OKHASOV. Police officers stopped him in his car. When Orynbay OKHASOV was asked to explain the reason for stopping the car, the police officers said that they "smelled alcohol".
