Kremlin Expels New Times Journalist
Investigative journalist Natalia Morar of the New Times magazine, who had published muckraking articles about the falsification of election results and graft by high ranking government officials, has been expelled from the Russian Federation to Moldova in response to her work, says her editor. Aidan White of International Federation of Journalists said “This action is a shocking violation of press freedom and is clearly a warning to others not to try to expose the dark side of politics in modern Russia.” In the past this blog has featured translations of New Times investigative articles.
