Answer

Amnesty International called Ruslan Kotsaba a prisoner of conscience because he was imprisoned for his critical comments on the Russian government. He was sentenced to three years in prison for "inciting hatred" against the Russian people and "discrediting the armed forces". Amnesty International argued that his prosecution was politically motivated and that his comments were protected by freedom of expression.
