Redactorul şef al publicaţiei independente Novaia Gazeta, arestat la Moscova

Serghei Sokolov, editor-in-chief of the independent Russian newspaper Novaia Gazeta, was arrested following a police raid at his home in Moscow. The publication reported losing contact with him before a scheduled editorial meeting. Sokolov's arrest is part of ongoing repression against independent media in Russia, particularly after the introduction of military censorship amid the Ukraine conflict. Novaia Gazeta has faced scrutiny for its human rights investigations and has previously been labeled a 'foreign agent' by Russian authorities, which imposes severe administrative constraints.
