A leading opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin freed in a prisoner swap last month has urged the West against allowing the Russian leader any "face-saving" way out of the war against Ukraine, saying the end of his rule was the only route to peace. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/09/10/world/politics/kara-murza-putin-ukraine/ #worldnews #politics #vladimirkaramurza #ukraine #russia #russiaukrainewar #vladimirputin

Vladimir Kara-Murza: ‘My first thought was that I was going to be led out to be executed’: I survived Putin’s prisons. Many others are left behind.
"When a group of officers burst into my cell at 3 a.m. on July 28 and told me to get up and get ready in 10 minutes, my first thought was that I was going to be led out to be executed.
The scenario seemed all too plausible because of a bizarre episode earlier that week, when a senior prison official walked me to his office and told me to sign a pardon request addressed to Vladimir Putin, complete with an admission of 'guilt.'
I told him I would never ask Putin for anything — least of all for a 'pardon' — because I consider him to be a usurper and a murderer, not a legitimate president; and because the real criminals are those who have unleashed the war in Ukraine, not those of us who are speaking out against it."

A visit Friday morning to the newspaper that temporarily blew up my career just over 13 years ago reminded me of how easy I’ve had it in this profession as measured on almost any relative scale.
The event that the Washington Post hosted to mark World Press Freedom Day featured one journalist who spent 544 days incarcerated in Iran before being freed in a prisoner swap, columnist Jason Rezaian, and honored three others still languishing in jails or other, unknown whereabouts under authoritarian regimes: freelance reporter Austin Tice, missing in Syria since 2012; historian, politician and Post contributor Vladimir Kara-Murza, jailed in Russia for two years and counting; the Wall Street Journal’s Evan Gershkovich, imprisoned in Russia since last March; and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty journalist Alsu Kurmasheva, locked up in Russia since last June.
(See a pattern here? Russian dictator Vladimir Putin should die in a fire, not only for those crimes but for the violence he’s inflicted on Ukraine and other neighbors and for how he’s stolen the future of his country to satisfy his own greed. The same fire would look better with the addition of Putin’s fellow war criminal, Syrian serial killer Bashar al-Assad.)
The Post’s event started with Rezaian interviewing Gershkovich’s sister Danielle. Hearing her talk about sending letters to Evan–which she must write in Russian before having them relayed to his cell–brought up memories of looking at the letters of imprisoned dissidents in the Museum of Occupations and Freedom Fights in Vilnius, Lithuania this February.
And Danielle Gershkovich opine that “No one should have to pay that price for journalism,” triggered only my fifth or sixth thought that morning along the lines of “my work is not that hard.”
In turn, Rezaian saying that “I feel like I’m looking back in time a little bit–the defiance and resilience is really inspiring to me as somebody who went through something similar a few years ago” reminded me that some journalists bring a deeper perspective to an interview than others.
The next panel at the Post’s event featured two overseas Posties, London bureau chief William Booth and Gaza-based correspondent Hazem Balousha, discussing covering Israel’s invasion of Gaza after the Oct. 7 mass murders and kidnappings committed by Hamas terrorists. Balousha and his family had to flee their home, and he and Booth spoke about how restrictions imposed by Hamas and the Israeli Defense Forces have made it difficult to tell the stories of Palestinians caught in the middle of this (many of which, per Balousha’s reporting, are fed up with Hamas).
“I have to say, it’s not a free country,” Balousha said of Gaza before professing his dedication to the work: “The truth, the truth and only the truth, no matter what.”
Booth closed out the panel by underscoring how this story involves a horrific level of death and injury.
“The Israelis suffered a deep loss on October 7, but what’s happening in Gaza is a tremendous amount of violence,” Booth said. “Gaza has been reduced to rubble in many sectors.”
The event’s last panel–moderated by Post columnist Jonathan Capeheart and featuring Jodie Ginsberg, CEO of the Committee to Protect Journalists; Stephen Capus, president and CEO of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and Clayton Weimers, executive director of Reporters Without Borders–highlighted how Palestinian journalists have also been victims of Israel’s campaign.
Ginsberg said that CPJ has documented the killings of 97 journalists since Oct. 7, 92 of them Palestinian, as a list of names scrolled up on a screen behind the stage. Like the IDF’s incineration of a team of World Central Kitchen volunteers, some of these deaths look like war crimes a long distance from the IDF’s declared mission and values. And yes, my tax dollars help send weapons to the current Israeli government that I hope will soon get the boot from fed-up citizens who, unlike those in Gaza, can vote it out at some point.
Ginsberg also pointed out that abuse of power against journalists can and does happen here: “This week alone, we’ve seen the arrests of journalists for covering protests.”
Then the event wrapped up, I took Metro home, got on a call to quiz an expert for an upcoming story, enjoyed a homemade sandwich for lunch, and treated myself to the sort of postprandial nap that I assume war correspondents don’t enjoy.
