Russia's last independent, nation-wide television station, TV-6, could fold in six months, following a recent appeal court's decision ordering the station to declare bankruptcy, report the Glasnost Defence Foundation (GDF), the Committee to Protect Journalists and the World Press Freedom Committee (WPFC).

"We are troubled by the legal proceedings against TV-6, which appear to constitute at best selective targeting, and at worst, a politically motivated assault," declares CPJ.
