More pressure on Ukrainian journalists, particularly @cxemu and @Tkach_Mykhailo. It looks like the security team of oligarch Rinat Akhmetov has been following and surveilling them since September. radiosvoboda.org/a/schemes/2978…
There's more: Reporter Denis Bigus says surveillance has been outside his investigative team's office for past 3 days, ever since they sent requests for comment to relevant offices for an upcoming report on alleged corruption in Ukraine's defense sector. facebook.com/1571041508/pos…
And finally, Ukrainian reporter Vasyl Krutchak's car was torched overnight. The fire occurred one month after the military prosecutor he is investigating for corruption threatened to burn his car and one day after he posted on Facebook a new, upcoming report about the prosecutor.
To summarize & add to last week: Against backdrop of upcoming presidential elections, Ukraine's journalists are being surveilled & harassed by private & state security services, taken to court by state in an attempt to force disclosure of sources, & having their cars torched.
