“There is no need to end your life with an article”
More info on the Natalia Morar case from the Committee to Protect Journalists, which put out a statement today: She said that in May she had investigated complex money-laundering schemes involving government officials who funneled large sums of money out of the country. That month, she received a warning from sources close to the FSB who told her, “There is no need to end your life with an article—someone might simply wait for you at the entrance to your apartment building and they will not find a killer afterward.” Morar did not call the police but she told her colleagues what had happened and stayed away from her home for a week to be safe. RSF has also made a statement. This blog expects to feature an interview with Ms. Morar in the near future. CPJ text after the jump.
