New Method of Pressure on Journalists

Russia: Taking Children as a New Method of Pressure on Journalists

by 

By Gregory Asmolov
Children of Galina Dmitrieva, an oppositionary journalist and activist, were taken by Russian police after she published an investigation about Russian car manufacturer Avtovaz [EN], Anatoliy Baranov reported[RUS]. After instant blog-campaign her children were returned. Blogger Marina Litvinovich suggests [RUS] this method was used before against at least one oppositionary journalist.
This is reprehensible!  Regardless of the influence, good or bad, on the adult journalist what does trauma like this to do children?
