Nadezhda Kevorkova, a Russian journalist who has worked for both state-funded and independent outlets, has been detained and charged with justifying terrorism.
A Russian journalist who has worked for both state-funded and independent media was detained Monday and faces charges of justifying terrorism through posts on the Telegram messaging app, her lawyer said. The detention of Nadezhda Kevorkova comes amid an intensifying crackdown on journalists, opposition figures and critics of Russia's war in Ukraine. Kevorkova is expected to appear in court Tuesday, her lawyer Kaloy Akhilgov said on Telegram.
Kevorkova's work has appeared in the independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta and the Kremlin-funded satellite TV channel RT, among other media. Two Russian journalists were arrested last week on charges of extremism for allegedly working with a group founded by the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Evan Gershkovich, a 32-year-old American reporter for The Wall Street Journal, is awaiting trial on espionage charges.
