The car was completely burned out. This brazen and daring crime cannot but worry the journalistic community of the Dnipropetrovsk region,” says a statement from the press service of the NSJU in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
The Board of the Dnipropetrovsk regional organization NSJU calls on law enforcement agencies to thoroughly and as quickly as possible investigate the arson.
“Such intimidation of media representatives with fire is unacceptable. No one has the right to put pressure on journalists or to encroach on the life, health or personal property of colleagues. Such actions are an attack on freedom of speech in general,” the journalist added.
According to the rating of the international human rights organization Reporters Without Borders, during the years of Petro Poroshenko’s rule in Ukraine, the situation with freedom of speech has significantly worsened.
