Description
Russia's supreme court rejects an appeal by prominent investigative journalist Ivan Safronov against his 22-year prison sentence for high treason. Safronov, 33, was convicted last year of giving Russian military information to Czech intelligence and a Russian-German political scientist, charges he denies. After the hearing, Safronov's lawyer Dmitry Kachev accuses the prosecution of "flagrant violations" of the criminal code, adding that he "sincerely counted on" these violations leading to a "slightly different outcome."
