The leading radio station "Echo of Moscow in Pskov" Svetlana Prokopyeva is accused of justifying terrorism because of the broadcast, during which the journalist talked about the terrorist attack in the FSB in the Arkhangelsk region in 2018.

Linguists and psychologists of the Roskomnadzor and the Investigative Committee, who did the examinations of the words of the journalist, said that Prokopyeva was guilty of committing a crime, since during the air she did not give a “proper negative assessment” the terrorist attack and pointed out the non -compliance of the “rights and freedoms of citizens”.

Journalists, public and human rights organizations require a criminal case against Svetlana Prokopyeva. The Human Rights Council under the President of Russia filed a statement addressed to the Pskov region prosecutor Sergei Belov, in which he also demanded that the criminal case be terminated.
