INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
A Russian court on Monday dismissed dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza's appeal against the 25-year prison sentence he received for criticizing
against Russian officials.In his last words in court in April, Kara-Murza stood by his political work, including his comments on the
Russia's "escalating campaign of repression."Most opponents have either fled Russia or are behind bars, and thousands of ordinary Russians
have been detained for protesting the conflict.
