The Capital of Free Russia, Healing Justice, 60 Minutes, March 17, 2024, CBS

In the latest episode of CBS’s 60 Minutes, airing on Sunday, March 17, 2024 at 7.00pm, viewers will be treated to two compelling stories: “The Capital of Free Russia” and “Healing Justice.”

In “The Capital of Free Russia,” correspondent Scott Pelley sheds light on the upcoming presidential election in Russia and the challenges faced by political opponents of incumbent Vladimir Putin. Many of these opponents have either met unfortunate ends or have been forced into exile. Pelley travels to Vilnius, Lithuania, which has become a safe haven for prominent Russian dissidents. This segment offers a rare glimpse into the lives of those who have defied Putin’s regime.

Continuing with another thought-provoking story, Lesley Stahl takes us on a journey that spans over 15 years in “Healing Justice.” Stahl revisits Jennifer Thompson, a rape victim who discovered long after her attack that an innocent man had been wrongly convicted and sent to prison. Thompson’s own experience led her to believe that crime victims often face neglect or blame when the justice system fails them. To address this issue, she founded Healing Justice—a unique organization that brings together wrongfully convicted individuals, crime victims, and their families for intensive retreats aimed at healing and rebuilding lives shattered by wrongful convictions. In this double-length segment, viewers will witness inspiring stories of resilience and hope as participants share their experiences.

Don’t miss out on these thought-provoking segments on Sunday evening as CBS presents another edition of 60 Minutes at 7.00pm sharp.
