Direct links: Why were Proekt’s journalists labeled ‘foreign agents’? For sharing posts about Meduza and VTimes, says Russia’s Justice Ministry. 

Months after adding four Proekt journalists to its "foreign agent" registry, the Russian Justice Ministry has finally clarified the formal basis for this decision. The justifications were listed in the written objections the ministry submitted to Moscow's Zamoskvoretsky District Court, which is considering the journalists' administrative claims demanding the repeal of their "foreign agent" status. The court hearings began on Monday, November 8, with both sides presenting evidence in the cases. The court allocated just 15 minutes for each hearing.
