Russia: To revoke the license of the independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta

Russia’s Media Regulatory Authority (Roskomnadzor) has filed a lawsuit seeking to revoke the license of the independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, as reported by the Russian state news agency TASS and reported by Reuters.

Novaya Gazeta, a mainstay of Russia’s Kremlin-independent media since 1993, has been suspended in the country since March after receiving a warning from authorities and seeing content removed from its website over reports of Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Some of the newspaper’s staff have created a European edition, based in Riga, Latvia. Novaya Gazeta’s decades-long editor-in-chief and Nobel laureate Dmitry Muratov has remained in Russia, despite his open opposition to the invasion of Ukraine.
