Russian prosecutors on Thursday asked for nearly 6-year prison sentences for each of four Russian journalists on charges of working for an anti-corruption group founded by the late Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny that was designated by authorities as extremist.
Antonina Favorskaya, Artyom Kriger, Sergey Karelin and Konstantin Gabov were arrested last year and charged with involvement with an extremist group, which they have rejected.
