Muratov urges Trump envoys to press Putin on political prisoners

Nobel laureate Dmitry Muratov publicly appealed to Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to raise the release of Russian political prisoners in talks with Putin. The appeal signals an attempt to inject human-rights issues into ongoing US-Russia negotiations, though no official response from the envoys is reported. The outcome is uncertain, but the request could influence the framing of bilateral discussions.
