"Russian Journalists Targeted: Crackdown Continues in Moscow"

Russian journalist Antonina Favorskaya, who covered the trials of Alexei Navalny and other dissidents, has been ordered to remain in custody pending an investigation and trial on charges of extremism. She is accused of involvement with an extremist group and faces up to six years in prison. Favorskaya's arrest is part of a broader crackdown on dissent in Russia, with several journalists and opposition figures being targeted by authorities. This comes amid international concern over the treatment of journalists in Russia, including the case of Evan Gershkovich, a reporter for The Wall Street Journal who is awaiting trial on espionage charges.
