Journalism in Russia - dangerous as war
Today the funeral of Ivan Safronov, a Russian journalist who worked for "Kommersant", is taking place in Moscow. He died on Friday, having fallen from the fifth-floor of an apartment block where he used to live. Before his death he was investigating reports of an alleged Russian sale of sophisticated missiles to Iran and fighter jets to Syria, using Belarus as a transit country. The International News Safety Institute (INSI) concluded that Russia is the second most deadliest place for journalists, after Iraq. In the last 10 years, 88 journalists were killed in Russia, the most common cause of these deaths being contract murders. (BBC world news)
