Multiple Media Outlets in Russia Banned from Reporting on Navalny's Death

In Russia, several media outlets have been ordered to cease publishing news regarding the circumstances surrounding the death of politician Alexei Navalny, only allowing content that aligns with federal media reports as coordinated with the administration. This alert comes from representatives of the Russian media.

Specifically, instructions have been issued to limit reporting on Navalny's death, allowing only coverage of 'event news' and barring mentions of public figures’ statements related to his passing.

A journalist from a pro-government media outlet revealed that guidelines received mandate that Navalny should be referred to in reports as 'a person imprisoned under a criminal article, an extremist,' and any mention of his poisoning must be strictly avoided.
