O.J.'s Mother Treated

SAN FRANCISCO-- The elderly mother of former football star O.J. Simpson was released from a San Francisco hospital after receiving treatment for a heart ailment, the hospital said. Eunice Simpson, 72, was admitted to the California Pacific Medical Center last Friday soon after prosecutors in Los Angeles announced her son would be charged with the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. She was released Wednesday. News reports said Simpson's mother was suffering from stress brought on by last Friday's dramatic events, when her son fled arrest and led police in a slow pursuit along southern California highways and was arrested after a standoff at his Los Angeles mansion.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
