Metro 2033 author Dmitry Glukhovsky sentenced to 8 years in prison for criticizing Russia's invasion of Ukraine
Marafon, Sentenced in absentia. The headline almost got me, but I was pretty sure he left Russia last year sometime.
tal, 
The US doesn't normally permit trials in absentia.
Apparently this is not a universal norm, and some EU member states do. Apparently, based on this article, Russia does as well.
ayla, 
Important takeaway:
Fortunately for Glukhovsky, he is not actually in Russia, and was sentenced in absentia. His current whereabouts are unknown.
