Russia accuses Deutsche Welle of urging Russians to take part in protests

Russia on Thursday accused German media outlet Deutsche Welle of calling on Russians to take part in recent anti-government protests, and it said Moscow would take action against the outlet under domestic law if it made such calls again.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that it had told a German diplomat that calls made by Deutsche Welle on social media were "unacceptable".
