Russian opposition activist and former municipal deputy of the Krasnoselsky district Ilya Yashin gestures, smiling as he stands inside a glass cubicle in a courtroom, prior to a hearing in Moscow, Russia, Friday, Dec. 9, 2022. Yashin faces a trial on charges stemming from his criticism of the Kremlin's action in Ukraine.
Yashin was charged with spreading false information about the military — a new offense added to the country’s criminal law after Russian President Vladimir Putin sent troops into Ukraine. During the trial at Moscow’s Meshchansky District Court, Yashin argued that his case has been fabricated and “has all the markings of illegal political persecution.” He noted that in the video he cited Russian official sources along with Ukrainian statements to give his audience an objective view.
