> Dear all,<br>
><br>
> I would like to add new food to our old discussion about propriety to hold international events in non-democratic countries.<br>
><br>
> Kiev just now is hosting World Newspaper Congress, with participation of the most influential editors and journalists from the whole world.<br>
><br>
> Yesterday Jacob Mathew, President of the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA), gave excellent analysis of media situation in Ukraine, underlined main threats to media freedom.<br>
> Then Ukrainian president Victor Yanulovich gave his interpretation of the same situation, stating, that there are no problems for the freedom of speech in Ukraine.<br>
> During his speech 12 Ukrainian journalists and media activists (I was among them) stood up with critical banners. And were brutally attacked by Yanukovich securities.<br>
><br>
> It was excellent illustration to his words, and received world-wide coverage (except of Ukrainian TV channels).<br>
><br>
> Today 14 the most influential editors met Yanukovich and demanded to investigate this incident and not to persecute protesters.<br>
><br>
> I really highly appreciate support of WAN-IFRA and all lessons, that it gave to Ukraine. And I hope that IGF in Baku will be also of great use to Azeris.<br>
