OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media Harlem Désir has called on the Ukrainian authorities to ensure safety of journalists in the country.
“The safety of media workers remains fragile in Ukraine and I urge the authorities to put an end to impunity for all attacks on journalists, by effectively and promptly completing investigations and prosecuting instances of unwarranted interference. Journalists should work in an enabling environment free from fear of violence and intimidation,” Désir said during a visit to Kyiv on Friday, October 20, Ukrinform learned from the headquarters of the organization.
