US Sanctions Russian Officials Over Dissident’s Detention
WASHINGTON—The United Stats has imposed sanctions and visa restrictions on five Russian officials and an expert witness involved in the incarceration of Vladimir Kara-Murza, a Russian opposition leader who has been imprisoned in Moscow since April for speaking out against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
More than 30 years are expected to be served on his behalf.
Treasury approved Elena Lenskaya (a Moscow judge); Andrei Zadachin (a special investigator); and Danila Mikheev (an expert witness for Russia in the case against Kara Murza).
Kara-Murza has been demanded by governments and international human rights organisations, including the Head of the United Nations Human Rights High Commissioner.
Friday’s action blocks the sanctions-bound Russians from accessing U.S. banks accounts and financial institutions. Visa restrictions were also issued by the U.S. State Department
