State media hails ‘symmetrical response’ to alleged UK barriers to Russian journalist visas
Russia is reportedly to expel a senior BBC journalist in Moscow by refusing to prolong her accreditation, state media has reported.
The BBC journalist Sarah Rainsford’s visa is due to expire at the end of August and will not be renewed, the state broadcaster Rossiya-24 reported on Thursday evening, calling it a response to alleged UK refusals or delays in issuing visas to Russian journalists.
