💨 Abstract

The US has imposed sanctions on Russian judge Olesya Mendeleeva for her role in the seven-year prison sentence of human rights activist Alexei Gorinov, who spoke against Russia's war in Ukraine. Gorinov was the first person jailed under Russia's war censorship laws, convicted of spreading false information about the Russian army. Mendeleeva, known for harsh sentences, became the first judge in Russia to find a defendant guilty of such a charge.
