Russian security services continue targeting critics of the war and the government. Former political prisoner Ivan Lyubshin said security officers tore pages from his passport after Belarus sent him back following his attempt to leave Russia, and he now faces another prison sentence. In a separate case, the Supreme Court of the Komi Republic sentenced Nikolai Zyuzev, a dual Russian-Canadian citizen and professor, to seven years in prison for treason, accusing him of preparing a 'project against Russia's sovereignty and territorial integrity' using foreign grants. The verdict underscores the continued use of treason charges against academics and dual nationals amid the wartime crackdown.
