Russian court orders arrest of director Andrei Loshak in absentia
Original: андрей лошак
A Russian court has ordered the arrest in absentia of documentary director Andrei Loshak on charges of justifying terrorism. The move makes him the latest cultural figure to face criminal proceedings in Russia, with reports circulating in Russian media including Novye Izvestia. Details of the specific statements cited in the case have not been made broadly clear, and Loshak is believed to be outside the country.
Why now: The court's in absentia arrest ruling was just announced and is drawing attention to the latest criminal case against a Russian cultural figure.
