《新报》在俄罗斯正式停刊：英国与芬兰发表联合声明，呼吁俄方结束打压独立媒体
英国外交、联邦和发展事务部11月9日发布联合声明：英国与芬兰以媒体自由联盟（Media Freedom Coalition）联合主席的身份，呼吁俄罗斯结束对独立媒体的打压。此前，俄罗斯知名独立报纸《新报》（Novaya Gazeta）当天在俄罗斯境内正式停止运营。
声明说，在运营30多年后，《新报》今天在该国停止运营。它的关停是一个严峻的提醒，显示俄罗斯独立新闻业正面临持续的压力。
声明说，几十年来，《新报》及其记者报道腐败、压迫与侵犯人权的行为，常常要冒巨大的个人风险。声明特别缅怀那些因工作付出生命的记者，包括安娜·波利特科夫斯卡娅（Anna Politkovskaya）。
声明说，俄罗斯当局继续以压制性立法打压媒体自由，独立记者在工作中面临严重的个人风险，包括逮捕、拘留、骚扰和政治监禁。
芬兰与英国在声明中表示，与在俄罗斯国内及流亡海外、顶着这些压力继续工作的独立记者和媒体工作者站在一起，并呼吁立即无条件释放所有政治犯，包括所有被非法监禁的记者。
声明最后呼吁俄罗斯当局允许记者与媒体工作者自由、安全地工作，结束对独立媒体和记者的打压，并履行其国际人权义务。声明说，独立媒体在确保公众获得可靠信息、监督当权者方面发挥着至关重要的作用。
《新报》1993年在莫斯科创刊，长期以调查报道著称，其前总编辑德米特里·穆拉托夫（Dmitry Muratov）2021年获诺贝尔和平奖。今年9月，该报全体编辑人员被俄当局列为「外国代理人」。该报10月30日宣布被迫停刊，联合国人权事务高级专员蒂尔克当时称这是对俄罗斯残余独立媒体的又一次打击。

Novaya Gazeta Ceases Operations in Russia: UK and Finland Issue Joint Statement Calling on Moscow to End Repression of Independent Media
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office on November 9 issued a joint statement in which the United Kingdom and Finland, as Co-Chairs of the Media Freedom Coalition, called on Russia to end its repression of independent media. Earlier the same day, Novaya Gazeta, the prominent independent Russian newspaper, formally ceased its operations inside Russia.
The statement said that today, after more than 30 years, Novaya Gazeta has ceased its operations inside the country, and that its closure is a stark reminder of the sustained pressure facing independent journalism in Russia.
For decades, the statement said, Novaya Gazeta and its journalists have reported on corruption, repression and human rights abuses, often at great personal risk. It remembered the reporters whose work cost them their lives, including Anna Politkovskaya.
The Russian authorities continue to use repressive legislation to crack down on media freedom, the statement said, and independent journalists face serious personal risks in carrying out their work, including arrest, detention, harassment and political imprisonment.
Finland and the UK said they stand in solidarity with independent journalists and media workers in Russia and in exile who continue their work despite these pressures, and called for the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners, including all unlawfully imprisoned journalists.
The statement called on the Russian authorities to allow journalists and media workers to work freely and safely, end the repression of independent media and journalists, and uphold their international human rights obligations. Independent media plays a vital role in ensuring people have access to reliable information and in holding those in power to account, it said.
Founded in Moscow in 1993, Novaya Gazeta became known for its investigative reporting, and its former editor-in-chief Dmitry Muratov won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2021. In September this year, the paper's entire editorial team was designated as "foreign agents" by the Russian authorities. The paper announced on October 30 that it was being forced to close, a move UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk described at the time as another blow to Russia's remaining independent media.
