Friend and a regular contributor to the portal CvK info, known army DNI Benes Ajo fighter sent the new text, dedicated to helping persecuted journalists in Ukraine.
& Quot; As we all know, political life and career postmaydannyh Ukrainian government hangs by a thread, and the rating of the ruling junta moribund.
It's connected, At first, with permanently deteriorating economic situation ( price increase, inflation, unemployment, low salaries, delays in payment of salaries and grants, huge foreign debt of the state, etc.).
Secondly, many Ukrainians, and especially the many Russian residents of Ukraine have already fed up with the seizure of power on arms Bandera ideology, zoologïçeskaya went, antykommunyzm, brazen rewriting of history from the standpoint of the defeated in the Civil War and the Great Patriotic War, destruction of historical monuments, ukro – Sumerian historical obscurantism & quot; a belligerent nation" etc.
The Ukrainian people fed up with all these!! And I, DNI as a soldier of the army, sometimes communicating with the enemy and receiving intelligence from the other side, I can testify, VSUshniki that many do not want to fight and despise Poroshenko and postmaydannuyu power.
so here. Such is the attitude of the population causes panic and hatred of the Ukrainian elite, and so it is trying in every way to fool people, zombiruya his brains, instilling false political values and telling outright lies.
It is connected with it and the persecution and repression of the decent and honest journalists, who do not go on about the official ideology of Bandera, and tell the people the truth about what is happening in Ukraine and in the world. These correspondents will automatically fall into the category of opposition with all the consequences in such a totalitarian state, as Ukraine, effects.
Earlier I told you about the affairs of political prisoners Pavel Volkov and Cyril Wyszynski, who sit in the Ukrainian prison for their articles. But the two most high-profile recent case – only the tip of the iceberg, For the Ukraine pursuing dozens of other journalists.
During the reign of Peter Poroshenko, were killed in Ukraine 12 journalists and was made 40 convictions for posts in social networks.
Convicted of Internet posts people were not punished for incitement to overthrow the government or xenophobia, and for the personal value judgments on the Internet.
Totally agree 6 months 2017 year was 122 cases of repression against journalists.
So 2015 , journalists Dmitry Vasilets and Eugene Timonin were arrested. They were detained after they visited Donetsk in the summer 2014 of the year, where they are alleged to have participated in the creation of the channel & quot; New Russia TV & quot; on YouTube, which is then technically supported from Kiev ( the capital they DNR according to the investigation allegedly brought some & quot; technical equipment & quot;, rented premises and train staff).
Generally, Vasilets and Timonin criticized the Kiev authorities and officials for corruption and nationalism. Besides, they staged a broadcast of one of the gears of the opposition journalist Anatoly Sharia on Khreshchatyk 2014 year.
Vasilets was also a leader of the organization & quot; Media lustration & quot;, which separated the information from the media propaganda and even created a prize named after Joseph Goebbels, handing her a sower lzheinformatsii media. Vasilets handed such a media award – MAT advocates of aggression against LDNR and ultra nationalists. Thus Vasilets did it all legally, As the first deputy chairman of the Public Council under the Ministry of Information Policy. In addition, the Ukrainian Vasilets 17th TV channel conducted the program & quot; information warfare Museum & quot;, which fought against censorship.
The boys told investigators, it did not create this page on YouTube, and in Donetsk were to cover the events taking place there. According to them, they were detained in connection with their activity on & quot; channel 17 & quot;, which severely criticized the regime Poroshenko.
Incidentally, the then chief editor of the & quot; New Russia TV" Vladislav Brig said, that Vasilets Timonin and had nothing to create & quot; New Russia – ТВ".
Vasilets Timonin and sat in jail for more than two years! And in September 2017 year Berdichevsky Zhytomyr oblast court sentenced them to 9 (!!!!) years in a maximum security cell on charges under Article. 258 ch.3 (organizational or other support the creation or activities of a terrorist group or terrorist organization) and Article 258, part 1 (assistance to a terrorist organization). It should be noted, that a shorter period in the Ukraine provide for murder! And in this case we are talking only about the opposition journalism!
This business – pure fabrication, because absolutely no evidence against Vasiltsev Timonina and consequently result in failed!
The record says only about negotiations and correspondence of the accused with the & quot; separatists DNI" all without any evidence. A wiretapping of telephone conversations in the summer of special services 2014 years before 2015 years was carried out without the permission of the court! Therefore, this wiretapping in terms of the law can not serve as evidence in court! A testimony of militants Ukrainian neo-fascist organizations, who was allegedly seen in the accounts and Vasiltsev Timonina in social networks calls for terrorism – at all bullshit!!!
From my point of view, Journalists innocence and eloquently proves, they abandoned the prisoner exchange program, because in order, to participate in this process, reporters would have to admit their guilt and seek pardon from Poroshenko (this according to the lawyer Svetlana Vasiltsev Novitskaya insisted SBUshniki, that 6 October 2016 year forcibly injected her client 16 doses of an unknown substance, and returned a few days later forced him to sign a plea and request for exchange).
However, in February 2018 Kiev Court of Appeal changed the measure of restraint and Timonin Vasiltsev from prison to house arrest.
Experts believe such a serious softening of preventive measures related to the pressure of international human rights and journalistic organizations on the Ukrainian authorities after complaints of numerous appeals to public organizations and lawyer. In particular in this case was raised by the noise in the EU!
It should be noted, that the OSCE 16-17 November was a forum on access to justice in Ukraine, where he heard the report of the Institute of Legal Policy and Social Protection of the name Irina Berezhnaya.
The report stated 12 143 Ukrainian affairs, directed by the European Court of Human Rights in the Council of Europe (!!!) for, that they take the measures up to sanctions against the Ukrainian authorities.
Besides, Human Rights Watch in New York organization has made a formal declaration on the protection of journalists' rights, referring to the Ukrainian authorities to the persecution of journalists criticized it, a 40 MEPs have signed an open letter to Ukrainian President, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, the Cabinet of Ministers and other Ukrainian state institutions and demanded, to Timonina and Vasiltsev released.
Who togo, by Timonin Vasiltsev and made Neil Mujzhnieks, High Commissioner for Human Rights of the European Union human, who twice visited Ukraine and met twice with Poroshenko on this issue, expressing his outrage at the violations of freedom of speech.
I, Ayo Benes, personally I know of a Latvian citizen Mujzhnieksa Nile, which 2002 he headed the NGO Latvian Center for Human Rights and Ethnic Studies (LCESC), and in 2002—2004 he was a member of the Latvian First Party and was Minister for Special Assignments Minister for Social Integration, as well as the head of the Institute of Social and Political Studies of the University of Latvia (in which I was myself, received the master's degree in biology).
In 2010—2012 Mujzhnieks years was the head of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (The Council of Europe), which he represented Latvia with 2005 of the year.
Nils Muižnieks – this is an honest activist and a very decent man, helped many ordinary inhabitants of Latvia, as well as to me in connection with a political criminal case ( for calling for the overthrow of the constitutional system of Latvia). Then after my formal complaint in its Human Rights Committee Latvian police stopped beating me during interrogation and forced to confess guilt.
Another well-known journalist from Ivano-Frankivsk – Ruslan was detained Kotsaba SBUshnikami 8 February 2015 year for, that about a month ago, I shot a video, It is urging ignore the illegal mobilization in Ukraine because of the fratricidal fighting in the Donbas.
Ruslan was accused of committing criminal offenses, under Part. 1 Article. 111 (treason), no. 1 Article. 114-1 (obstruction of the lawful activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations).
spring 2016 He was sentenced to Ruslan 3,5 years in prison. Ruslan, of course, appealed.
This is absolutely ridiculous and from a finger sucked deal falling apart before our eyes!
And in the summer 2016 the Court of Appeal acquitted and freed journalist.
But the junta did not give up and in June 2017 , the High Specialized Court for Civil and criminal cases overturned the acquittal Kotsabe and sent his case for a new trial.
Protection Kotsaby complained to the international human rights organizations.
Ruslan Kotsaba was officially recognized as an international human rights organization Amnesty International prisoner of conscience, and urged MEPs to ask for political asylum in Belgium.
AT 2017 Kotsaba was made in the European Parliament, telling about, as the Ukrainian regime persecutes dissidents and told foreign reporters, that during a search of the opposition Ukrainian Internet publication, "Вести", Journalists virtually always kept locked up and not allowed to go to the toilet.
And in May 2018 the Court of Appeal in Lviv region justified Kotsabu during the re-examination of his case and still upheld the Dolinsky District Court of Ivano-Frankivsk region, who previously lived for a Man.
According to the decision of the Court of Appeal, criminal proceedings against Kotsaby do not correspond to the current legislation!
Another journalist – Basil Muravitsky SBU was detained in Zhytomyr 1 August last year on suspicion of treason, infringement on the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine, violation of equality of citizens and the creation of a terrorist organization.
According to the investigation Muravitsky wrote articles in six Russian and DNR-ovskih portals. And, according to Ukrainian psycho linguistic expertise in these articles the journalist allegedly carried out & quot; manipulative influence on the minds of readers and incite the audience to perform specific actions to the detriment of the sovereignty and independence of the Ukrainian state & quot;.
According to the most Muravitskaya, he was arrested for an article about the roads in the Crimea – how many of them built Russia. She was regarded as & quot; justification for the legality of the annexation of the peninsula & quot;.
Muravitskaya protection and non-governmental organizations have complained of his persecution by the Ukrainian authorities in the various international organizations.
And it was followed by a positive reaction!
Since Amnesty International considered Muravitskaya a prisoner of conscience and called for his immediate release. The organizations note, that the charges stem from the fact that the journalist his work with Russian-speaking online resources. Glavred site & quot; Ukraina.ru & quot;, for which he wrote Muravitsky, Iskander Khisamov called the persecution of a journalist political repression. Secretary of the Russian Union of Journalists, member of the executive committee of the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) Timur Shafir also considers the repression of Muravitskaya fight against dissent. Russian Foreign Ministry, in turn, called on the OSCE and the Council of Europe countries, as well as international organizations to condemn the repression of Muravitskaya and other Ukrainian journalists.
Thanks to international support at the last court hearing 28 June 2018 Muravitskaya year were released to house arrest!
As we can see, complaints to the European authorities and the international community protest against the arbitrariness of the Ukrainian authorities to help!!
After Poroshenko, who wants to push Ukraine into the EU, but it has a reputation of extreme antidemocrats, in which dissidents held without charge or trial in secret prisons and tortured SBU, I forced to somehow placate the Europeans. And so it sometimes gives an indication of the courts to mitigate suppress or justification for measures.
In this way, dear comrades, Ukrainian opposition journalists – political prisoners can really help, if you make a fuss in the different European human rights and political structures, especially after the recent sharply critical UN report (21 report on the situation in 2018 year) OSCE human rights in Ukraine.
therefore, Now our task – is to use all political and legal levers, to fully justify Timonina, Vasyltsa, Volkova, Wyszynski, Muravitskaya, as well as other persecuted journalists, not mentioned in this article.
