Reporters Without Borders has documented more than 50 attacks on over 100 journalists who have been killed, injured, kidnapped, taken hostage, tortured or caught up in bombings.
IPI calls on authorities to investigate recent incidents targeting journalists from ‘Nashi Hroshi’ and ‘Bihus.info’, two outlets known for exposing corruption in Ukraine.
In addition to his 8.5 year prison sentence, Aleksandr Nozdrinov will be banned from media-related activities for 4 years when he is eventually released.
