The Committee to Protect Journalists urges Ukrainian authorities to ensure that journalists at Media Holding Vesti are able to access their office and continue their work without fear of retaliation. Journalists at Media Holding Vesti remain blocked from their newsroom in central Kyiv one week after dozens of law enforcement agents raided the office, editor-in-chief Oksana Omelchenko told CPJ.
Omelchenko, head of the company’s editorial division, which includes Radio Vesti, the daily newspaper Vesti, and the news website Vesti-ukr, told CPJ today that authorities still have not presented her with a court order or any other legal document authorizing the measures.
