Nobel Laureate Dmitry Muratov Attacked on Russian Train
-------------------------------------------------------

In Russia, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning newspaper editor Dmitry Muratov
says he was attacked on a train Thursday by an assailant who poured red
paint over him, causing severe discomfort to his eyes. Last month
Muratov closed the independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta after receiving a
second warning from a Russian state censor over its coverage of the
invasion of Ukraine. The paper has since launched a European edition
staffed by journalists who have chosen to leave Russia.
