A Moscow court sentenced Russian journalist Darya Shipacheva to 12 years in a penal colony Wednesday after convicting her of treason in a closed-door trial, in a case whose specific charges were never officially made public. Interfax, citing other media, reported that the charges stemmed from an alleged money transfer Shipacheva made to Ukraine. She was arrested in April 2025 and initially held in a detention facility in Rostov-on-Don before being transferred to Moscow's Lefortovo prison. Before Wednesday's verdict, the Committee to Protect Journalists said 29 journalists were imprisoned in Russia in connection with their work, according to Reuters. T-Invariant separately reported that Shipacheva had faced online harassment before her arrest from members of the banned ultra-nationalist group "Male State" over her feminist views.
