Journalists were arrested on Saturday in Russia while protesting for media freedom after the Russian government labeled a media outlet a “foreign agent.” The protest took place outside the FSB, the country’s domestic security agency, after TV channel Dozhd was labeled a foreign agent by the Justice Ministry, a decision the outlet says they plan to appeal, The Associated Press reported. “I’m against labelling the TV channel Dozhd as a ‘foreign agent,’” Farida Rustamova, a Dozhd journalist at the protest, stated.
