Russian new law to level individual as foreign agents // রাশিয়ার নতুন আইন এ বিদেশীদের গুপ্তচর হিসাবে দেখা হতে পারে ।
Russia has passed legislation that will allow individual journalists and bloggers to be labeled “foreign agents,” a move that critics say will tighten curbs on the media and free speech.
At least nine news organizations funded by the U.S. government have been designated “foreign agents” under the original version of the law since it was signed by President Vladimir Putin in 2017 as a retaliation to America’s decision to restrict Kremlin-run media.
