OSCE calls on Ukraine to refrain from restrictive laws limiting free media
OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media Dunja Mijatovic today said that recent legislative steps in Ukraine could limit the free flow of information.
"Ukraine's current significant progress in the area of media freedom should be preserved and enhanced, not undermined," OSCE press service quotes Mijatovic's feedback to a ban to broadcast all Russian films produced or released since the beginning of 2014.
Mijatovic said that such laws restrict media freedom.
"Even under the state of hostilities democratic countries have a responsibility to carefully address potentially problematic content, for example, through the use of appropriate judicial mechanisms, in order to avoid excessive steps and the introduction of measures akin to censorship.
