Nobel Prize-winning Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov will mount a legal challenge to try to overturn his designation as a"foreign agent" by the authorities in Russia, Novaya Gazeta, the newspaper he edits, said on Monday.
It said Muratov, who sold his Nobel medal at auction to help Ukrainian child refugees, had"created and disseminated material foreign agents and used it to spread negative opinions of Russia's foreign and domestic policies on international platforms". "Muratov categorically disagrees with the decision of the Ministry of Justice and is filing a lawsuit," Novaya Gazeta said in a statement.
It said Muratov had been targeted by the authorities for his opinions and beliefs, something it said ran counter to constitutional guarantees about freedom of thought and speech.
