Russia's Prosecution of Journalists Beyond its Borders
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) warns of Russia's growing use of in absentia convictions against exiled Russian journalists and foreign media professionals.
This repressive legal tactic is used to intimidate journalists, block their return to Russia and pressure their relatives, and has become commonplace since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
- Nearly 70 journalists have been targeted over 44 months, according to data cross-checked by RSF and the Justice for Journalists Foundation (JFJ), a British charity.
Our goal: to leave no breach of freedom of information unreported.
