Journalists in Trouble Newsletter Print "RFE/RL deplores the Russian government’s decision to add our correspondent Elizaveta Maetnaya to its list of 'foreign agents.' The journalists who work for RFE/RL in Russia are proud Russians, seeking to use their skills to provide objective news and information to their fellow citizens. These escalating Kremlin attacks on independent voices only serve to deprive the Russian people of access to information at a critical moment in Russia’s history," Fly said in a statement. INCIDENTS AND THREATS Prosecutors in Russia-annexed Crimea formally indicted RFE/RL Crimea.Realities contributor Vladyslav Yesypenko, accusing him of violating two articles of the criminal code -- “illegal manufacture of explosives, alteration or repair of explosive devices” and “illegal acquisition, transfer, sale, storage, transportation or carrying of weapons, their main parts, ammunition.” There is no charge of espionage and work for Ukrainian intelligence in the indictment. Yesypenko pleaded not guilty on both charges. Earlier, Yesypenko’s wife Kateryna reported that Yesypenko passed out while being transported from the court to the detention center on July 6.
