Russian Journalists Arrested on 'Extremism' Charges Amid Ongoing Crackdown

Two journalists face severe penalties for alleged involvement with Navalny's banned organization, highlighting Russia's tightening grip on dissent.

Konstantin Gabov and Sergey Karelin, journalists allegedly linked to Navalny, face extremism charges in Russia.
The arrests are part of a broader crackdown on dissent that has intensified since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Journalists and activists are being targeted under laws criminalizing 'false information' about the military.
The crackdown has led to multiple detentions, including that of Forbes journalist Sergei Mingazov for alleged fake news.
International concern grows as journalists face harsh penalties, including potential prison terms of up to six years.
