LONDON (Reuters) - Russian dissident Alexei Gorinov was found guilty of "justifying terrorism" in his latest trial on Friday and sentenced to three more years in a penal colony.

Gorinov denied the charge and delivered a defiant closing speech to the court in which he condemned what he called Russia's "bloody slaughter" in the Ukraine war.
