Russian opposition figure Gorinov alleges poisoning as court upholds case refusal

Former Moscow deputy Alexey Gorinov, already imprisoned for anti-war statements, claimed possible poisoning during a Moscow City Court hearing via video link from a penal colony. The court upheld prosecutors' refusal to reopen his case, continuing a pattern of legal pressure on opposition figures. The poisoning claim is unverified and may signal deteriorating conditions for political prisoners.
