I remember when Kara-Murza left the relative safety of the west to return to Russia. I’ve been fearing news like this ever since. I have no idea how these guys (him and Navalny) get the courage to walk into the lion’s den.

@chonglibloodsport well, for them it is their country. They had all the right in the world to return and fight for a change just as they had all the right to stay inside their adoptive countries in a relative safety (provided the Kremlin would not assassinate them there). They chose the former, probably thinking they would make a bigger impact inside the country. Well, turns it wasn't such a great idea.

I’ve seen him in interviews in many documentaries etc and he’s great guy. Putin is a monster

Good chance Kara-Mira has a fatal condition.

He does: fighting for human rights, democracy, justice. Which is fatal in Russia.

The hospital is apparently on the sixth floor, with many windows.

So yes.

I'm sure that the autopsy will show that he died of natural causes.

With enough fortune, this will be the last time.
