Kozlovsky is Free
Filed under: Russia
Oleg Kozlovsky (shown above) emerged from a Russian prison Monday evening emaciated from a ten-day hunger strike to protest the blatant illegality of his arrest. He was whisked away to a restaurant by his compatriots at Oborona to toast his freedom (and fatten him up).
In what must have been a satisfyingly sweet moment of retribution, his dessert was served by the Washington Post, which published Kozlovsky's op-ed delivering a blistering critique of the Kremlin's gulag-like stability and calling for grass-roots opposition.
Take that, Mr. Putin! No wonder you need to jail this young man. Just imagine how many op-eds he would have published today if he hadn't been in prison!
