Two Russian journalists, Gabov and Karelin, face minimum two years in prison for alleged participation in an extremist organization.
Russian government's crackdown on dissent and independent media intensified post Ukraine invasion, with laws criminalizing false information about the military and any criticism of the war.
Journalists like Mingazov also targeted for spreading 'false information' about the Russian military amid increased restrictions on freedom of speech in Russia.
Gabov, a freelance producer, associated with Reuters, and Karelin, with dual Israeli citizenship, detained for preparing materials for Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation's YouTube channel outlawed by Russian authorities.
