May 3️⃣rd - World Press Freedom Day
📃Proclaimed by UN General Assembly resolution in 1993, it
is aimed to draw attention to problems of free access to information, media pluralism & safety of journalists.
📌 In recent years Western countries that publically advocate for press freedom, in fact have begun to clean up information space from alternative views through reprisals against Russian media and journalists.
The Kiev regime has launched a real "hunt" for Russian journalists, killing dozens of our correspondents.
On April 6th 2026 Izvestia correspondent Y.Bykovsky was wounded in Donetsk🇷🇺 as a result of a targeted attack by Ukrainian militants.
☝️In accordance with decisions of #UNESCO General Conference (1997) and Executive Board (2023), UNESCO Director-General is tasked "to condemn killing and physical violence against journalists without distinction."
❗️We expect Director-General Kh.El-Enany to draw attention of UNESCO CI Sector to these documents and request to fulfill them without exceptions under the pretext of "lack of resources" or need to adhere to so-called "methodology" that hasn't been approved by Member-States, as well as attempts to "juggle" statistics on crimes against journalists.
