Russian concert pianist and anti-war activist Pavel #Kushnir died in police custody after going on hunger strike, his mother confirmed Monday.

Kushnir died at age 39 in a pre-trial detention center in the Jewish autonomous district, a remote region of #Russia’s Far East.

Federal Security Service (#FSB) agents arrested Kushnir in May on charges of calling for terrorist activities in #YouTube videos where he spoke out against the invasion of #Ukraine.
