A Moscow court has ordered a Russian journalist who covered the trials of late Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny and other dissidents to remain in custody pending an investigation and trial on charges of extremism. Antonina Favorskaya, also identified by court officials as Antonina Kravtsova, was arrested earlier in March.

Antonina Favorskaya stands in a glass cage in a courtroom in the Basmanny District Court in Moscow, Russia, Friday, March 29, 2024. A court in Moscow makes a decision on measure of restrain to journalist Antonina Favorskaya in the case of her connection with the FBK, the Anti-Corruption Foundation set up by Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in 2011 and declared extremist and closed in 2021.

“I am completely against a closed process. The press needs to know what’s going on here, what I’m being accused of,” the outlet quoted Favorskaya as saying. Favorskaya was initially detained on March 17 after laying flowers on Navalny’s grave. She spent 10 days in jail after being accused of disobedience toward the police, but when that period of detention ended, authorities charged her again and ordered her to appear in court Friday, according to OVD-Info, a Russian human rights group.
