Photograph: Jonathan FordBBC correspondent Sarah Rainsford has been refused a visa renewal for Russia. Photograph: Jonathan Ford<\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">A senior BBC journalist who is to be expelled from Russia has condemned \u201can increasingly repressive environment\u201d for critical journalists in the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">Sarah Rainsford, whose visa is due to expire at the end of the month and will not be renewed, said her impending departure came in the context of \u201ca massive deterioration in relations between Russia and the UK\u201d and attacks on press freedom.<\/p>\n<p id=\"sign-in-gate\">\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">\u201cI wasn\u2019t expecting this to happen,\u201d she told BBC Radio 4\u2019s Today programme. \u201cThere were clear signs for Russian media \u2013 there have been really serious problems recently for Russian independent journalists \u2013 but until now the foreign press had been somehow shielded from all of that. This is a clear sign that things have changed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"be824228-f93b-47ba-baa1-a85464ea456c\" class=\"dcr-1mfia18\">BBC condemns \u2018assault on media freedom\u2019 as Russia expels reporter<\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">\u201cIt\u2019s another really bad sign of the state of affairs in Russia and another downturn in the relationship between Russia and the world, and a sign that Russia is increasingly closing in on itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">The state broadcaster Rossiya-24 first reported the decision on Thursday evening, calling it a response to alleged UK refusals or delays in issuing visas to Russian journalists and past threats that Ofcom could strip the Russian state-funded broadcaster RT of its licence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">The report also claimed that correspondents from RT and state-owned Sputnik were not being accredited for events. But the British embassy in Moscow has denied that any Russian journalists have been discriminated against in the UK and decried Rainsford\u2019s effective expulsion as \u201cretrograde\u201d and \u201cunjustified\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">Rainsford said she was caught in a wider diplomatic and political game. \u201cWe were told officially about one case that is two years old, a specific person who was not extended to stay in the UK as a journalist,\u201d she said. \u201cThere are also separate reasons I\u2019ve been given, including sanctions by the British government against Russian citizens over human rights violations in Chechnya and for corruption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">When she was told her visa would not be renewed, she said she told those sent to deliver the news: \u201cI\u2019m not your enemy. I\u2019ve tried my hardest to understand this country and tell it\u2019s story, and that of the people here. It is something that\u2019s very close to my heart and you\u2019re removing someone who understands Russia, who speaks directly to people and tries to explain Russia to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">She said the Russian state did not want people like that in the country. \u201cIt\u2019s much easier to have fewer people here who understand and can talk directly to people and hear their stories and to relate them,\u201d she told Today. \u201cIt\u2019s indicative of an increasingly difficult and repressive environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">Following sustained attacks on press freedom in the country, she said there were few Russian journalists remaining who sought to report independently and freely amid extremely difficult circumstances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">\u201cThey\u2019re coming for the press,\u201d she said. \u201cWe wake up every day now and hear news about someone else who has had a police search of their flat, someone else who is in court, or has left the country. The number of people leaving the country now is extraordinary, I\u2019ve never seen anything like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--noindex--><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/media\/2021\/aug\/14\/bbc-journalist-sarah-rainsford-speaks-of-increasingly-repressive-russia-ahead-of-expulsion\">Source<\/a><!--\/noindex--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sarah Rainsford says she is caught up in wider diplomatic game as country \u2018turns in on itself\u2019 BBC correspondent Sarah Rainsford has been refused a visa renewal for Russia.
