Russian opposition figure Vladimir Kara-Murza given 15 days in jail
Fox News
Russian opposition figure Vladimir Kara-Murza was just given 15 days in jail for trying to evade capture by police.
The court says Kara-Murza sped up his walking pace and even changed direction when he spotted police coming toward him on Monday. Evgenia Kara-Murza calls the story absurd. She says police were lying in wait for her husband when he pulled up to his house. They surrounded his car and ordered him out.
"There is nothing to the charge itself. It has nothing to do with reality," Evgenia says. "I'm absolutely sure that my husband is being persecuted for his political activity, for his opposition activity, for advocating for personal sanctions against the murderers and thieves in the Putin regime, for calling their bloody war a war."
