Journalists though are slightly different, they are walking in a known dodgy area to find out who is the local dealer selling drugs to kids at the school. They are not going there for s#its and giggles

Well i didnt suggest they were going for a holiday, their job is dangerous and they are aware of the risks, i take my hat off to those willing to take risks to expose bad actors. However the reality remains, they still chose to take the risk.
 

White house response over WSJ reporter imminent: AJ Correspondent​

Al Jazeera’s Kimberly Halkett, reporting from Washington, said a response from the White House is still being crafted over the arrest of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reporter.
“What we know is that right now, this is of grave concern to US officials, and it comes at a time of really bitter relations between the two nations,” Halkett said.
She explained that not only do the two nations have “grave differences” over the war in Ukraine but also on Russia’s growing crackdown on dissenting voices.
“We should also point out the timing of the arrest of the Wall Street Journal journalist is also of interest to US officials given the fact that it comes just days after the justice department revealed an indictment against a Russian national who attended graduate school here in the United States,” she said.
“So obviously, there are some very strong tensions between the United States and Russia and this latest arrest now of a US citizen is only going to exacerbate those tensions.”
 

WSJ journalist researching Wagner Group before arrest: AJ Correspondent​

Al Jazeera’s Dorsa Jabbari, reporting from Moscow, said the detained US journalist had lived in Russia for the past six years.
“He was gathering information to do a story about how people felt in this area of Yekaterinburg region about the involvement of the Wagner group in the conflict in Ukraine,” she said.
“This fixer that was arranging interviews for him said he had left that area and returned on Wednesday unannounced, and he hasn’t been heard from since.”
However, the FSB detained him on the allegation that Evan Gershkovich was working on something completely different.

Darnytsia District Court in Kyiv sentenced in absentia a judge involved in the deportation of a Crimean citizen from the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimean Peninsula to 10 years in prison.


Source: Prosecutor's office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, UP sources


Quote: "After the occupation of the peninsula, the 'judge' transferred to the service of illegally created judicial bodies and assumed the leadership post of 'chairman of Armiansk City Court of the Republic of Crimea'. The convict took a direct part in the implementation of the criminal policy of the occupying state, aimed at changing the population's demographic composition in Crimea.


The 'judge' reliably knew that since 2014, residents of Crimea have the status of persons under the protection of international humanitarian law. Contrary to this, she decided to expel a citizen of Ukraine from the territory of the temporarily occupied peninsula."


Details: The judge was found guilty of violating the laws and customs of war (Art. 438.1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The prosecutor's office reported that its decision was motivated by the alleged lack of permit documents and non-observance of the "rules of staying on the territory of the Russian Federation".


"However, no additional permits of the occupation administration of the Russian Federation in Crimea for the residence of citizens of Ukraine on the temporarily occupied territory of the peninsula are provided for under national legislation," the prosecutor's office reported.


Ihor Ponochovnyi, Head of the Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, said that this is the first sentence in Ukraine for the deportation of the civilian population from the occupied peninsula.


Currently, the courts are considering three more indictments on similar crimes.


According to UP sources, the sentenced judge is Larysa Lykhachova.
