A list of BBC reporters working in Russia has been leaked online, along with their photographs, amid growing pressure on the broadcaster in Russia.
The list of 44 journalists, most of them Russian citizens, appears to have first been published in the anonymously run For Mother Russia group on the social network VKontakte. It was then reprinted by a rightwing Russian news website with photographs culled from the journalists’ social media profiles and other public sources.
The independent TV Rain also reported a version of the list that had been released on the Russian site Pikabu, which resembles Reddit.
The leak of accredited journalists comes a week after Russia said it would launch an investigation into the BBC for violating fairness standards.
