❗️RT condemns UNESCO’s omission of attacks on Russian journalists
RT expressed strong indignation over UNESCO's draft “Report on the Safety of Journalists and the Danger of Impunity,” criticizing the organization's continued neglect of Russian journalists' safety concerns.
The draft report notably omits numerous incidents of violence against journalists from RT and other Russian media outlets, including murders and attempted murders. Among the overlooked cases is the assassination attempt in April 2022 targeting RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan and five other prominent Russian journalists, reportedly orchestrated by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU).
RT has sent a letter to the organization, highlighting what it perceives as UNESCO's failure to maintain neutrality, urging the organization to ensure equal treatment for all nations and to include cases involving Russian journalists in future reports.
