Fortune has
a report on 10 journalists in urgent need of justice. Among them:
Freelance journalist serving 2.5 years in Russian prison.
In October 2019, a military court in Russia’s southern city of Rostov-on-Don sentenced Nariman Memedeminov to two years and six months in prison, convicted of making public calls for terrorism online. That followed the 2018 raid of the freelance journalist’s home and his arrest. His coverage included livestreamed trials of Muslim minority Crimean Tatar activists and interviews with their family members and lawyers, since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.
Why was he tried in a military court?
