Russian dissident Alexei Gorinov has been sentenced to three more years in a penal colony after being found guilty of 'justifying terrorism.' Gorinov, the first person to be jailed under Russia's war censorship laws, was initially convicted in 2022 for spreading false information about the Russian army. This week, he went on trial again, accused of promoting terrorism in conversations with other prisoners. The defense argued that the other inmates had tried to provoke Gorinov into making political comments during secretly recorded conversations. Gorinov, who is in poor health, delivered a defiant speech at the trial condemning Moscow's actions in Ukraine and the degradation of Russia's political system.
