Masha Gessen on Being Convicted in Absentia by Russian Court - Amanpour and Company PBS

While Vladimir Putin was quick to condemn Ukraine's incursion into Russian territory, the Russian military has been roundly criticized for its actions throughout this war. One critic is exiled journalist Masha Gessen, who was recently convicted in absentia and sentenced by a Moscow court for reporting on the conflict.

Gessen joins Michel Martin to share what it is like to be targeted by the Kremlin, and to discuss their recent New York Times behind-the-scenes account of the recent prisoner swap with Russia. - Originally aired on August 12, 2024.
