A Russian court orders a Russian American journalist to stay in custody until December, her employer reported. She is the second U.S. journalist held this year.
A Russian court has ordered a Russian American journalist who was detained last week on charges of failing to register as a foreign agent to remain in custody until early December, her employer reported. Alsu Kurmasheva, an editor for the U.S. government-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's Tatar-Bashkir service, appeared Monday in a closed session in a court in the city of Kazan, the capital of the Tatarstan republic. The radio service said the court ordered her to be held until Dec.
Kurmasheva, who lives in Prague, was stopped June 2 at Kazan International Airport after traveling to Russia for a family emergency May 20, according to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. Airport officials confiscated her U.S. and Russian passports and she was fined for failing to register her U.S. passport. She was waiting for her passports to be returned when the new charge was filed Wednesday, RFE/RL said.
