Russian journalists defy Kremlin eviction order

The largest society of independent journalists in Russia, long critical of the Kremlin's curtailment of the independent news media, is defying a government eviction notice. The Russian Union of Journalists, which represents more than 100,000 journalists, is refusing to leave its Moscow offices. It has been ordered it to hand over its premises to the state-owned Russia Today TV station. It is yet another example of state pressure on all Russian journalists and continuing threats to press freedom. (Via New York Times)
