A Russian court has convicted four journalists of extremism for working for an anti-corruption organisation founded by late opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
Antonina Favorskaya, Kostantin Gabov, Sergey Karelin and Artyom Kriger were sentenced to five and a half years each. The court, Moscow’s Nagatinsky district court, found them guilty of involvement with a group — Navalny’s Foundation for Fighting Corruption — that was labelled “extremist” in Russia in 2021.
