Russia formally charges detained US-Russian journalist

IndiaTimes Thursday, 26 October 2023

Kurmasheva is the second US reporter to be detained in Russia this year. If convicted, she could face up to five years in prison. Critics argue that the law is overly broad, allowing Russian law enforcement to arrest journalists at will.
