MOSCOW - Russia charged former military journalist Ivan Safronov with state treason on Monday, his lawyer said, accusations that have sent a chill through Russia’s media community which has protested over what it says is his unfair treatment.
Security forces last week detained Safronov, who left journalism and in May became an adviser at Russia’s space agency, and accused him of passing military secrets to the Czech Republic.Police detained around a dozen journalists who gathered outside his detention facility on Monday to offer their support in a case they say is shrouded in unacceptable secrecy.
Ivan Pavlov, his lawyer, last week said that the information he is accused of handing over concerned Russian arms deliveries to the Middle East and Africa.“Of course this case was fabricated, it is intimidation,” said Arina Borodina, one of the journalists detained on Monday.
All countries ruled by autocracy consider all journalists as traitors, because they refuse any word criticising anything.

So why no outcry regarding Jillian Assange of Wiki Leaks
I wonder if they notice, but looks like he can escape without any effort.
Trump would love to do the same thing to our reporters, I'll bet he's chewing at the bit wishing he could do the same thing Russia is doing right now.
