Undue process? Russian journalists await verdict in Moscow DW 03/12/2025
Briefly

In Moscow, four journalists stand trial for allegedly being part of an extremist organization, the Foundation for Fighting Corruption, founded by opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who died in custody. Denying the charges, the journalists, including Antonina Favorskaya, argue that they reported on the group independently. As political prisoners, they face a potential six-year sentence if convicted following a trial held in secrecy. Their letters reveal their resolve to remain in Russia despite the risks, with closing arguments scheduled soon. The verdict is imminent.
"I believe in our people. And I am sure that in the end, history will make everything right."
The trial is marked by a lack of transparency, as it has been held behind closed doors, complicating public access to crucial details.
