Halya Coynash: Russian censor blocks Ukrainian site for refusing to remove interview with Crimean Tatar leader
The Ukrainian website LIGA.net has been added to Russia's considerable List of Banned Sites after it refused to remove words spoken by exiled Crimean Tatar leader Refat Chubarov about the war with Russia which cannot end until Russia ends its occupation of Crimea. Roskomnadzor, Russia’s media regulatory body effectively responsible for censorship has banned access to the website on Russian territory and in Russian-occupied Crimea for supposed “calls to carry out extremist activities”.
