Russia Targets Journalists With Charges
Perpetrators allegedly registered North Caucasus residents in northern regions to illicitly obtain government funds. The estimated budget damage exceeds 1 billion rubles. Since the full-scale invasion, Russia has engaged in 35 cases of systemic use of criminal prosecutions, in absentia arrests, convictions, and illegal detentions. These legal mechanisms are being used for politically motivated persecution of journalists. The source stated that Russia is using the tools and rules of law as a cover for these actions. The source stated that the country utilizes these instruments to conduct its actions against media professionals. This development follows existing concerns regarding the targeting of media personnel. The source noted that Russia is using these articles to incriminate Ukrainian and ground-based journalists.
