Russia: CFWIJ Condemns The Legal Harassment Of Journalist Mariya Nuykina

Mariya Nuykina was detained, arrested, and fined by Russian police authorities for covering protest movements. In response, Mariya filed a court appeal against the convictions. If accepted, the appeal will protect her from similar state persecution in the future and clear her of all charges. However, Mariya believes the court is unlikely to overturn the charges. CFWIJ stands in solidarity with Mariya and urges the judicial authorities to consider the journalist’s appeal.
