Two FSB officers from Russian-occupied Crimea have given testimony in the trial of Nariman Memedeminov that makes it quite clear that the civic journalist and Crimean Solidarity activist was arrested because of his reports from court hearings in politically motivated cases. The men’s effective admission is all the more incriminating since the formal charges against Memedeminov are over three innocuous YouTube video clips, two of which far pre-date Russia’s invasion and annexation of Crimea.
