academic

Russian political scientist Alexander Kynov was arrested in September 2023 on charges of attempted drug trafficking in large quantities, with the court sending him to pre-trial detention. He was reportedly severely beaten during his arrest, resulting in two broken tibia bones, and hospitalized in a prison medical facility; his defense claims he was subjected to torture. Kynov, previously designated an 'foreign agent' in Russia, is known for his long-standing analysis of Russian elections.
