Journalists Eye New Protest Strategy in Golunov Acquittal
Published on: Wednesday 12 June 2019
For formerly jailed investigative journalist Natalia Radina, Tuesday's shock acquittal of Russian reporter Ivan Golunov is a small but significant victory in a much larger war to defend press freedoms across the post-Soviet sphere.
"Thank God, Ivan is freed," said Radina, top editor of Charter 97, an independent investigative news outlet that covers governance and corporate corruption in her native Belarus.
"This became possible only thanks to the solidarity of journalists in Russia and all over the world," she said.
