In April 2022, Kara-Murza was arrested in Russia on charges of disobeying police orders; later his arrest was extended after new charges of "discrediting" the military were introduced, and in October, new charges of treason were introduced against him. Amnesty International and others called the charges politically motivated for his anti-war views. In October 2022, Kara-Murza was awarded the Václav Havel Human Rights Prize.
In April 2023, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison. In 2024, he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for commentary, for the columns which he continued to write from his prison cell. Kara-Murza was released on 1 August 2024 as part of a prisoner exchange. Provided by Wikipedia
