OSCE calls for immediate release of detained Donetsk journalist Stanislav Aseyev
OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media Harlem Désir has expressed deep concern about the continued detention of Ukrainian journalist Stanyslav Aseyev in the Ukrainian government uncontrolled areas of Donbas.
"I call on all those responsible to immediately release Stanislav Aseyev," the press service of OSCE reported, citing Désir as saying.
"Journalists and other media actors must be free to express their views and carry out their work unhindered," he said.
OSCE reminded that Aseyev is a contributor to the Ukrainian Service of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and a well-known blogger. He disappeared at the beginning of June 2017 in Donetsk. Reportedly detained by so-called DPR forces, his whereabouts were, until recently, unknown.
