    Russian Journalists

    Two Russian military journalists have exposed massive nuclear contamination by Russia's navy in the seas surrounding their country. For their hard work, they have been arrested and put on trial in Russia. PEN Center West awarded these writers its Freedom to Write Award on Oct. 28th. They were not permitted to leave the country to receive the awards. We talk to the wife of Grigory Pasko and the daughter of Alexander Nikitin about their work and the status of their cases.
