The Moscow court sentenced the dissident Oleg Orlov, former co-president of the Memorial foundation which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022, to two and a half years in prison.
Oleg Orlov is accused of repeatedly denouncing Russia's aggression against Ukraine.
"The court has established Orlov's guilt and orders a sentence of two years and six months... in a general penal colony," the judge said, according to an AFP journalist present in the courtroom.
