I. Attacks and Threats against Journalists
Ukraine
Three journalists with Nashe Radio were forcibly put into a car and to the Kyiv suburbs by unknown individuals in Kyiv on August 8.
The kidnappers threatened the journalists by shooting in the air and demanded some suitcase from them. The kidnappers beat the journalists for four hours and took their money and mobile phones before releasing them.
Ukrainian Interior Minister Yury Lutsenko does not believe the incident is an encroachment on freedom of the press. He said the car carrying the journalists had clashed with a jeep owned by the company Zaporozhstal. After the police was called, the driver of the jeep said a suitcase full of money had been stolen from his car. “As a result, he [the driver of the jeep] called seven security guards from a private security division of Zaporozhstal, who kidnapped the Nashe Radio journalists, which is illegal, took hem out of the city and subjected them to violence,” said Lutsenko. According to Lutsenko, it later turned out that the suitcase was stolen by a third person, who was passing by the accident scene.
II. Lawsuits against Journalists
Azerbaijan
Shakhin Agabeili, editor-in-chief of the newspaper Milli Yol, was detained by the police in Baku on August 9, Day.az reported. According to Day.az, before that Agabeili received a call on his mobile phone from a person who introduced himself as a police officer and asked him for a meeting near the Besh Myartyabya building. When Agabeili came there, he was immediately arrested.
Interior Ministry spokesman Ekhsan Zakhidov said that Justice said the Nasimin Court on August 3 ordered for Agabeili to be forcibly brought to court. The order was issued after Agabeili ignored multiple court sommons, the Interior Ministry press service has reported.
On June 10, Justice Gyulnara Tagizade sentenced Agabeili to one year in prison.

The Baku Sabail District Court on August 10 held a final hearing of the lawsuit filed by Azi Aslanov, the head of the Interior Ministry’s department for drug abuse prevention, and political scientist Zardusht Alizade.
Justice Alim Namazov partially granted the suit, ordering the paper and Alizade to pay fines in an amount of 5,000 manates each. The paper has also been ordered to publish a refutation of the interview with Alizade, in which high-ranking Interior Ministry officials were accused of drug dealing.
Commenting on the court ruling in an interview with Turan news agency, Alizade said he has evidence that some Interior Ministry officials are involved in criminal activities.
The plaintiff intends to prosecute Alizade for libel and defamation. Rashid Gadzhily, director of the Media Rights Institute, in turn, said: «the court has ignored the defendant’s arguments, which were based on the constitution of Azerbaijan and the European Convention of Human Rights. No matter how sharp Zardusht Alizade’s statements were, they go beyond the context of public debate on the situation in public bodies. In democratic countries, statements by heads of public bodies that such statements are defamatory run counter to the concept of freedom of speech. If this case makes it to the European Court, this circumstance does not bode well to the Azerbaijani administration.”

The police officers confiscated his voice recorder and passport and sealed the apartment and he is now unable to enter it, he says. “I am now afraid of working and coming home,” said Shamshyan.

Romanovich spent some three hours in the police station, where a detention protocol was made and 261 copies of the paper were confiscated from him.

Ukraine
Margarita Zakora, editor-in-chief of the newspaper Dzerzhinets, said she is experiencing pressure from local criminal groups, says an August 8 news report.
According to Zakora, Dzerzhinets is fighting illegal privatization of commercial objects and corruption in the city’s administration and law enforcement agencies.
“The principled, objective stance of Dzerzhinets irritated these people and leads them to threat and intimidate its editor-in-chief. They are trying to silence the paper,” said Zakora.
Zakora also said 18 identical lawsuits have been filed against her, the windows of her apartment have been shot at, and leaflets slandering her are being distributed in the city.

He also said that requests to broadcast a press conference cannot be submitted half an hour before the broadcast.

Dniepropetrovsk journalists who came to cover a meeting between members of the local council and Governor N. Deyeva were not allowed to enter the meeting hall as the parliamentarians, who invited the journalists, locked it from inside.
Commentary Prepared by CJES Lawyer Viktoriya Blonskaya (IV Ukraine)
Under the Ukrainian law On the Procedures for Covering the Work of Public Bodies and Local Self-Government Bodies in Ukraine in the Mass Media, media coverage of public bodies and local self-government bodies in Ukraine is collection, receipt, production, dissemination, use, and storage of information on the work of public bodies and local self-government bodies. Media coverage of the work of district and regional councils by state and non-state television and radio organizations is carried out on the basis of orders or agreements (Article 13 of the above-mentioned law). The print mass media cover the work of local authorities on conditions set forth in contracts between this body and the editorial boards (Article 21 of the law). Thus, we can assume that in this situation the local council violated a number of agreements with the editorial boards of the media organizations, including Article 3 of the law On the Procedures for Media Coverage of the Work of Public Bodies and Local Self-Government Bodies in Ukraine outlines the provisions on accreditation of journalists with public bodies and local self-government bodies, which can make lawsuits happen.
