RUSSIAN JOURNALIST GETS ONE WAY TICKET TO MOLDOVA FOR WRITING ABOUT CORRUPTION
December 18th 2007 09:12
A journalist who had written a string of articles about high-level corruption in Russia was barred from entering the country in another apparent sign of tightening Kremlin control, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Natalia Morar, of Russia's New Times magazine, one of the last remaining opposition publications, said she was pulled aside at a Moscow airport as she tried to return to Russia early yesterday from a reporting trip in Israel.
Her documents were in order, but she was told she wasn't allowed into the country because she posed a threat to national security.
The Kremlin declined to comment.
