Le Monde reports that Sergei Sokolov, editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazeta, was released after investigators searched his home; France 24 had earlier reported that he was detained. The search was part of a criminal case involving one of his colleagues, Le Monde says, and Russian authorities classify the newspaper as a “foreign agent.” This follows reports that Japan protested Russia’s arrest of a Japanese journalist on suspicion of spying.
