On July 6, a military court in Pskov convicted journalist Svetlana Prokopyeva of “justifying terrorism” in an article where she argued that Russia’s federal authorities are partly to blame for a suicide bombing in October 2018 against an FSB building in Arkhangelsk. Prosecutors wanted her imprisoned for six years, but the court decided to release her with a fine of 500,000 rubles (almost $7,000). Prokopyeva says she plans to challenge the ruling.
