Dear John,

Vladimir Kara-Murza is a prominent Russian democratic opposition leader, a fierce critic of dictator Vladimir Putin, a contributor to The Washington Post, and a father of three young children.

Despite the clear danger for opposition voices in Russia, Kara-Murza—a lawful permanent resident of the United States—chose to return to his home country to stand with Russian antiwar protesters. ​​​​He was arrested just days after his return and in April 2023, was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

We spoke with Katie LaRoque, Freedom House’s Deputy Director for Policy and Advocacy for Europe and Eurasia, about how the United States government can—and should—increase its efforts to free Kara-Murza.
