Ukraine: Journalist unions slam persecution of media by Kiev

THE International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) condemned the Ukrainian government’s ongoing crackdown
on independent news media yesterday.

In a letter to the Kiev regime, the IFJ protested at the government’s treatment of independent television channel 3S.TV and its founder Savik Shuster.

The station was set up last year after Shuster Live, one of Ukraine’s leading current affairs programmes, was effectively banned from virtually all networks and, in one case, pulled from air just 10 minutes before broadcast, the federation said.
