VS
Lev Schlosberg
Lev Schlosberg is a senior member and deputy chairman of the liberal Yabloko party in Russia, and a regional lawmaker known for openly criticizing the Russian government.
He is one of the best-known figures in the party and has been a vocal opponent of the Russian authorities.
Schlosberg's conflict with the Russian authorities centers on his public statements about Russia's military actions in Ukraine, which he has condemned.
These statements led to his arrest and criminal charges for 'discrediting' the Russian armed forces, a charge he denies, accusing prosecutors of discrediting Russian law instead.
The case highlights the clash between the authorities' enforcement of wartime censorship laws and the opposition's exercise of free speech.
