Russian media say a Russian American journalist was ordered detained for another three days on charges of failing to register as a foreign agent.
A Russian American journalist was ordered Friday to be detained for another three days on charges of failing to register as a foreign agent, Russian media reported. Alsu Kurmasheva, an editor for the U.S. government-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, appeared in court in the central Russian city of Kazan, according to Russian state news agency Tass. She is the second U.S.
” She added that Kurmasheva’s case was different from that of Gershkovich, even though both are U.S. citizens. “She was attacked because she is a Russian journalist. Second, she belongs to a foreign media, which was already regarded as a foreign agent and with which Russian authorities had a longstanding conflict on foreign agent legislation,” she said. The U.S. State Department calls Kurmasheva’s arrest another instance of Russian harassment of U.S. citizens.
