Four Russian journalists have gone on trial in Moscow after being accused of working for an anti-corruption group founded by the late Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny, which was designated by authorities as an extremist organization in 2021Russian journalist Antonina Favorskaya accused of working for a group founded by the late Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny, stands in a defendant's cage of the Nagatinsky District Court in Moscow, Russia, on Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2024.
Navalny was President Vladimir Putin's fiercest and most prominent foe and relentlessly campaigned against official corruption in Russia. In February, Navalny died in a remote Arctic prison while serving a 19-year sentence on a number of charges, including running an extremist group, which he had rejected as politically driven.
Addressing reporters from behind the glass, Kriger cast the case against him and his fellow journalists as a cautionary tale and urged journalists still in Russia to leave the country: “It is not a joke, any person can be charged with anything." There was more applause and cheering for the four defendants two hours later, as they were escorted out of the courtroom, even as the bailiff ordered those waiting for the defendants in the hallway to stay silent.
