Putin’s Russia is now president of the UN Security Council while it holds captive the pro-democracy dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison. In Siberia. He has become ill. They won’t let his lawyer see him. @antonioguterres, will you speak out? https://t.co/STcfj4h9HW

Bravo to Vladimir Kara-Murza on winning the 2024 Pulitzer Prize. He is serving a cruel 25-year prison sentence for opposing Putin and his war on Ukraine. On Wednesday, our 16th Geneva Summit will have an empty chair in his honor. We urge the 🇺🇸 to declare him wrongfully detained. pic.twitter.com/HSXlLN1GTg

One year ago they sentenced the bravest man I ever met to 25 years in prison. Vladimir Kara-Murza spoke out for freedom in Russia. They poisoned him and he almost died—twice. He kept speaking out. They locked him up. Now in Siberia. @SecBlinken🇺🇸: The free world must get him out. https://t.co/3WRztlPLtJ

TRAGIC: Russian dissident Alexei Navalny is dead. Putin tried first to kill him with poison, then made him die in prison. @antonioguterres @volker_turk @UNHumanRights: We are calling for an emergency session of the United Nations Human Rights Council to hold Russia to account. pic.twitter.com/DHVbM6akt7

Vladimir Kara-Murza is the bravest man I ever met. He should be celebrating his 20th anniversary with his wife Evgenia.

But he's locked up in Siberia. Putin's regime sentenced him to 25 years for daring to speak out against Russia's war on Ukraine.

We cannot be silent. https://t.co/UWGNjMV1wu

🇬🇧@MailOnline: “Hillel Neuer, a human rights lawyer, suggested that instead of speaking to Putin, Mr. Carlson should try to talk to Vladimir Kara-Murza, a British-Russian citizen who was sentenced to 25 years in prison for being critical of the invasion.”https://t.co/fIlrcULqpV

Bravo to Russian political prisoner Vladimir Kara-Murza on winning the 🇵🇱 Pro Dignitate Humana Prize, received by his wife & tireless defender Evgenia. Vladimir is suffering in a Siberian penal colony for defending our democratic values. The free world must fight for his freedom. https://t.co/blT2QmkZyA pic.twitter.com/FK9NgHWUqf

Vladimir Kara-Murza is one of the most courageous people I ever met. He spoke out for freedom in Russia. They poisoned him & he almost died—twice. He kept speaking out. They took him away April 11, 2022. Sentenced to 25 years prison. He’s now in Siberia. In solitary confinement. https://t.co/2ujJ4T7DIW pic.twitter.com/Zlh1KR1gHQ

No joke: they're about to start voting on the candidacies of Russia, China, Cuba for the U.N. “Human Rights” Council. The inmates are running the asylum.

Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. We just took the floor to urge the United Nations not to elect him to their top human rights body. The vote is today. https://t.co/PFLBQLe6Jg pic.twitter.com/paDJa6fBmc

SHAME: The United Nations General Assembly just elected the oppressive regimes of China, Cuba, Burundi & Kuwait to the U.N. Human Rights Council. Cuba won 76% of the votes. China won 80%. Despicable.

Our campaign to defeat Russia was successful, they only got 43%.
