(Reuters) - Russian opposition politician Vladimir Kara-Murza was fined 50,000 roubles ($560) on Friday for not providing a full report of his conduct as a registered "foreign agent", according to a court statement, despite the fact he is serving a 25-year term for treason in a Siberian penal colony.
People or organisations designated as "foreign agents", a term that carries Cold War connotations of betrayal, must regularly submit detailed reports on their activities and finances.
Kara-Murza, a Russian and British citizen, was jailed for 25 years in April for treason and spreading "false information" about Russia's war in Ukraine.
He was declared a "foreign agent" on April 22, 2022 - the same day he was placed in detention after making speeches in the United States and Europe accusing Russia of bombing civilians in Ukraine.
