My friend Kelly McEvers is in Dagestan (southern Russia) as part of a journalism fellowship she was rightly awarded. She is being severely leaned upon by the Dagestani authorities, who are going so far as threatening her with supporting terrorism. Kelly is an amazing person, and it seems that right now she's doing exactly what she's meant to do: Asking the tough questions and searching for truth.
Link to report on Kelly's case at the Committee to Protect Journalists website.

Kelly is cofounder of the online narrative journalism e-zine SixBillion.org, and a contributor to NPR and Slate.
