Yakut Journalist Sasha Alexandrova Faces Military Time Charges in Russia

Sasha Alexandrova, a prominent Yakut journalist, is currently facing military time charges in Russia. According to reports by SakhaDay, the Khabarovsk Regional Military Court is considering a case against Alexandrova.

The journalist was arrested in March this year, shortly after returning to Russia. The reason for her detention remains undisclosed. It is worth noting that Alexandrova had previously demonstrated her opposition to the special military operation and its supporters in Telegram channels.

Prior to her return, Alexandrova was among the Yakut journalists who publicly left Russia after the start of the operation. Upon her return, she was detained in Yakutsk by employees of the regional FSB office. However, no further information about the military time charges against Alexandrova after her detention has been provided.

Alexandrova's case bears similarities to that of Vladislav Sinitsa, another journalist who was held in pre-trial detention for approximately one year. Sinitsa was accused of public calls for terrorist activities, justification of terrorism, or its propaganda, a crime classified as a threat to public safety.

It is important to note that no further information about the outcome of Alexandrova's military time case has been reported. The news about her detention was not reported by SakhaDay in the paragraph.

During her custody in a detention center, Alexandrova has been under investigation. The details of the legal proceedings against her after her detention remain unclear.

Alexandrova's case serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by journalists in Russia who express opposition to the special military operation. It is a significant development in the ongoing debate about freedom of speech and the role of the media in Russia.
