This is the best summary I could come up with:
Three Russian journalists were arrested Friday and Saturday and detained, as Russia continues a crackdown on media inside the country.
They stand accused of working with a political group associated with the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who died earlier this year in prison.
Forbes Russia journalist Sergei Mingazov was also arrested Friday, his lawyer told the AP, on charges of spreading misinformation.
Karelin holds dual Israeli citizenship, and previously worked as a cameraman for the AP and the German outlet Deutsche Welle.
Russian prosecutors said the two reporters worked with the Anti-Corruption Foundation, a watchdog group associated with Navalny’s political opposition.
The Journal and State Department have blasted the charges as false, and the Biden administration has committed to pursing a prisoner exchange to free him.
