Russian-American Journalist Alsu Kurmasheva Sentenced to Over Six Years in Prison

Kurmasheva convicted in a secret trial for spreading 'false information' about the Russian military, sparking international condemnation.

Alsu Kurmasheva, a journalist for Europe/Radio Liberty, was convicted of violating military censorship laws.
Her trial was held behind closed doors, with no public evidence presented.
The charges are linked to her work on a book opposing the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Her conviction coincided with the sentencing of another U.S. journalist, Evan Gershkovich, for espionage.
International organizations and her employer have called for her immediate release, denouncing the trial as unjust.
