Guardian Journalist Expelled from Russia

HeadlineFeb 08, 2011

In other WikiLeaks news, Russian authorities have expelled the Moscow correspondent of the Guardian newspaper. Luke Harding attempted to enter Moscow last weekend after being back in London for two months to write a book on the organization WikiLeaks. Although no explanation was offered to the journalist, the decision was made after Harding used WikiLeaks cables to report on allegations that Russia, under the rule of Vladimir Putin, had become a “virtual mafia state” in a December article. Harding is believed to be the first British journalist expelled from Russia since the Cold War.
