(Worthy News) – A court in Moscow has revoked the print license of the independent Novaya gazeta newspaper, which was founded in part with money from former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, less than a year after its editor in chief, Dmitry Muratov, won the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize.
The Basmanny district court said on September 5 that it had invalidated the newspaper’s license at the request of the country’s media regulator, Roskomnadzor.
“The newspaper was killed today. They stole 30 years of life from its employees. Deprived readers of the right to receive information,” Novaya gazeta said on its Telegram channel. [ Source: Radio Free Europe (Read More…) ]
