Russia formally charges detained US-Russian journalist
Thursday, 26 October 2023 A US-Russian journalist, Alsu Kurmasheva, has been charged by Russia for failing to register as a "foreign agent." This move by Russian authorities has been criticized by rights groups as an escalation of their campaign against independent media.
