LONDON (Reuters) - A group of Russian doctors has appealed to President Vladimir Putin over the "shameful" jailing of a Moscow paediatrician for comments she was alleged to have made about the war in Ukraine.
Nadezhda Buyanova, 68, was sentenced to 5-1/2 years in a penal colony last week after the mother of one of her patients publicly denounced her.
