In a recent crackdown in Russia, several journalists have been arrested on charges of 'extremism' and allegedly spreading false information about the military. Among those detained are Konstantin Gabov, a producer for Reuters, and Sergei Mingazov, a journalist for Forbes detained in Khabarovsk. Both are accused of producing content for the team of the late dissident Alexei Navalny. Another journalist, Sergei Karelin, was also arrested under similar charges. The arrests have sparked international concern about the suppression of free speech and press freedom in Russia.
