The BBC speaks of the “urgent need to report from Russia”. However, the safety of employees in the face of a new rigid media law in Russia should continue to have the highest priority.
The BBC resumes English-language reporting from Russia. This is announced by the public broadcaster in Great Britain. The journalists’ work had previously been temporarily suspended due to a new media law in Russia.
“We have carefully weighed the implications of the new legislation against the urgent need to report from Russia,” the BBC statement said. It was decided to resume reporting with immediate effect. However, the safety of the employees has the highest priority.
According to a law that came into force in Russia on Friday, people who publicly “denigrate” the Russian army can be held accountable. In addition, anyone who spreads “false information” in the media about the Russian armed forces currently fighting in the Ukraine faces up to 15 years in prison.
The BBC and other foreign media had temporarily suspended their reporting out of concern for their employees.
