Kurmasheva, a 47-year-old editor for RFE/RL's Tatar-Bashkir language service, was convicted of"spreading false information" about the military after a trial that lasted just two days, according to the website of the Supreme Court of Tatarstan. Court spokesperson Natalya Loseva confirmed Kurmasheva's conviction and revealed the sentence to The Associated Press by phone in the case classified as secret.
"It's beyond time for this American citizen, our dear colleague, to be reunited with her loving family," Capus said.Kurmasheva, who holds U.S. and Russian citizenship and lives in Prague with her husband and two daughters, was taken into custody in October 2023 and charged with failing to register as a foreign agent while collecting information about the Russian military.
The organization Reporters Without Borders said Kurmasheva's conviction"illustrates the unprecedented level of despotism permeating a Russian judiciary that takes orders from the Kremlin." Arrests of Americans are increasingly common in Russia, with nine U.S. citizens known to be detained there as tensions between the two countries have escalated over fighting in Ukraine.
