Russia jails 4 journalists for ‘extremism’ tied to Navalny

On Tuesday, a Russian court convicted four journalists of “extremism”, specifically, for allegedly collaborating with Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation, which the Kremlin labeled “extremist” and outlawed back in 2021.

But what does this case reveal about the state of press freedom and political repression in Russia? And can an appeal offer any hope for justice in this case?
