ai generated text
Russian authorities have convicted Alsu Kurmasheva on charges related to espionage and spreading false information. Kurmasheva, a 47-year-old editor with Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, was found guilty of spreading false information about the Russian army and sentenced to 612 years in prison after a secret trial. Her family, employer, and the US government have rejected the charges against her.
We continue to make very clear that she should be released.
The only just outcome is for Alsu to be immediately released from prison by her Russian captors.
