“Vladimir Kara-Murza was detained by police in Moscow near his home,” Yashin said on Twitter. “It’s still not clear why.”
Yashin told CNN who learned of the arrest by Kara-Murza’s lawyer. Russian state news agency RIA Novosti also reported on Kara-Murza’s arrest citing her lawyer, Vadim Prokhorov.
“I just found out about his detention, so far I can’t tell you the details,” Prokhorov told RIA Novosti. An interview with Kara-Murza aired on “Big Picture with Sara Sidner” on CNN on Monday. The opposition figure has condemned what he calls the “aggression” of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Ukraine.
He told Sidner that he believes the war in Ukraine will end Putin’s regime.
“I have absolutely no doubt that the Putin regime will end this war in Ukraine, it doesn’t mean it will happen tomorrow. The two main issues are time and price and by price, I don’t mean monetary – I mean the price of human blood and human lives that was once horrendous, but the Putin regime will put an end to it and there will be a democratic Russia after Putin.” , Kara-Murza told CNN.
