The trial of four independent journalists highlights the increasing danger faced by dissenting voices in Russia, especially after the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
Judge Natalia Borisenkova's decision to close the proceedings, claimed that Navalny supporters were preparing 'provocations', reflects a troubling trend in restricting freedom of speech in Russia.
Journalist Artem Kriger warned fellow reporters that they could face arbitrary charges at any moment, underscoring the precarious situation for journalists in the country.
Antonina Favorskaya's early arrest following her documentation of Navalny's memorial suggests a targeted crackdown on journalists who cover opposition activities.
