A Russian court has sentenced journalist Ivan Safronov to 22 years in prison for alleged treason on September 5, 2022. The former defence reporter for the Kommersant and Vedomosti dailies was tried on secret evidence not made public. He denied the charges and earlier rejected a plea bargain, which could have almost halved his sentence. The trial is the latest in a series of crackdowns on Russia's independent media.
