Russia to Probe Independent TV Channel

Russian prosecutors are investigating an independent television station for its coverage of two major opposition rallies in Moscow late last year. The Moscow Prosecutor's Office said on February 16 that the station, Dozhd TV, was being investigated to determine who financed the channel's live broadcasts of the December 10 and December 24 rallies. The probe was initiated by a State Duma deputy from the ruling United Russia party.
