'Last' independent journalist attacked in Russia

Dmitry Muratov, editor-in-chief of one of The Russian's leading independent newspapers, Novaya Gazeta, said he was attacked by an unknown person who had thrown a mix of red paint at him with ancetone.

Mr. Muratov, winner of the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize along with Filipino journalist Maria Ressa, according to The Voice of America, was on the train at the time of the attack. He was headed from Moscow to Samara.

A photo of Mr. Muratov posted by the newspaper showed him covered entirely in red paint.

Mr Muratov said the attacker had shouted, "Muratov, this is for our boys."

Speaking on the attack for the Novaya Gazeta newspaper, its European publication, he said they burned their eyes a lot.

Novaya Gazeta, a leading independent Russian newspaper, suspended operations last month after it said it had received warnings from Russian authorities.

The newspaper said it had been warned twice by Roskomnadzor, the state media regulator.

Earlier thursday, Novaya Gazeta journalists, who left Russia, amid the continued crackdown on independent reporting said they have opened a new media aimed at covering news and developments in Russia and worldwide, in Russian and some other languages.

Russia has imposed strict restrictions on how the media should talk about Moscow's war in Ukraine.

Some other Russian media have already chosen to suspend operations instead of facing severe restrictions over what they can report, and the Kremlin has also blocked the activity of many foreign media.
