Russian journalist arrested for reporting on Navalny. Observers see this as an attempt to silence them.
Antonina Favorskaya reported on Kremlin opponent Alexei Navalny for years. She faces up to six years in prison. Navalny's spokeswoman denies allegations against journalist Favorskiy. “A journalist is being accused because of her journalistic activities,” she said. ‘That's no surprise, but what darkness.’ Russia has been increasingly repressive against critical voices in its own country.
