Claim 1: “Russian authorities launch negligence probe after pacifist blogger found hanged in prison cell”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provides general context regarding anti-war protests and Russian authorities' actions against dissent (e.g., 'UN Special Rapporteurs today condemned the continued strategy by Russian authorities to silence dissent...'). However, none of the retrieved sources specifically mention the details of a 'negligence probe' or the death of the specific individual 'Vegan Khristolub Bozhiy' in a prison cell. Therefore, the claim cannot be corroborated, but it is not definitively false as no source contradicts it.

Claim 2: “Russia and North Korea connect road bridge ahead of summer opening, Moscow says”
SINGLE SOURCE
The provided evidence mentions the general relationship and border between North Korea and Russia, but none of the retrieved web search results or Wikipedia entries specifically confirm the claim that 'Moscow stated that Russia and North Korea are connecting a road bridge for a summer opening.' The evidence is insufficient to corroborate this specific statement.
