Description
For Russian human rights defender Oleg Orlov, being released from prison in August in the biggest Russia-West prisoner swap since the Cold War is “some kind of a miracle”. Now free and living in Berlin, the 71-year-old, who had been serving a 2.5-year sentence in Russia for criticising Moscow's offensive in Ukraine, aims to help other Russian political prisoners secure freedom. In a wide-ranging interview with AFP the veteran activist also says he hopes to travel to Ukraine to see the war that he denounced with his own eyes and document war crimes. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
