Journal Proceedings: Sakha Journalist Alexandrova in Court
Yakutsk, Russia - Yakut journalist Sasha Alexandrova has found herself in the centre of a criminal case, with her detention taking place in Yakutsk this year. The news was originally reported by SakhaDay, and later confirmed by YAKUTIA.INFO.
According to the reports, Alexandrova was detained by employees of the regional FSB department shortly after her return to the country this year. The exact reason for her detention remains undisclosed.
It was previously reported by SakhaNews that Alexandrova was one of the Yakut journalists who publicly left Russia after the start of the SVO. Her activities since her return were not mentioned as a reason for her detention.
Alexandrova has been accused of public calls for terrorist activity, justification of terrorism, or its propaganda. However, it's important to note that her detention is not related to her opposition to the special military operation or her activities in Telegram channels.
The person responsible for Alexandrova's defense in her criminal case is not publicly disclosed. The journalist has been in custody in a detention center during the investigation.
On September 16, the Khabarovsk Regional Military Court began considering Alexandrova's criminal case. The earlier reported information about her arrest, investigation, and custody remains unchanged.
This development marks a significant turn in the life of Sasha Alexandrova, a journalist who actively expressed her opposition to the special military operation and its supporters in Telegram channels before her detention.
The detention of Alexandrova is classified as a threat to public safety. She has been added to the list of terrorists and extremists.
As the case progresses, more information about the charges against Alexandrova and the course of her trial will likely come to light. The public will continue to follow this developing story closely.
