EU slams Russia's 'continued crackdown' on journalists
Russia's attempts to suppress independent media and NGOs through the "foreign agents" law is particularly alarming ahead of the legislative elections, an EU spokesperson said.
Russian security forces have also cracked down on opposition protesters
The Kremlin silencing dissent and opposition "is particularly worrisome ahead of the State Duma elections in September," an EU spokesperson said late Thursday.
"The European Union stands in solidarity with Russian civil society, human rights defenders and independent journalists and will continue to support them in their important work," said Nabila Massrali, a spokeswoman for EU foreign affairs envoy Josep Borrell.
