Russian paper's computers confiscated

Police in the Russian city of Togliatti raided the newsroom of an independent weekly, Tolyatinskoye Obozreniye (Togliatti Review), and confiscated all 20 of its computers. Agents from the police department for high-tech crimes told staff that they were checking for alleged use of counterfeit software. The journalists believe they are being harassed because the paper is backing an opposition candidate in local mayoral elections. (Source: Committee to Protect Journalists)
