A Moscow court on July 16 sentenced self-exiled former lawyer Mark Feigin to 11 years in prison in absentia on a charge of distributing "false" information about Russia's military. Feigin is an outspoken Kremlin critic who has openly condemned Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine and talked about alleged atrocities committed against Ukrainian civilians by occupying Russian armed forces. Feigin defended noted Russian and Ukrainian activists, politicians, and journalists until the Moscow Chamber of Attorneys disbarred him in 2018, citing alleged unethical behavior. Feigin now resides in a European Union member state. His Feygin Live YouTube channel has more than 2 million subscribers. To read the original story by Current Time, click here.
