#YestoEurope #NoToRussianLaw – Cameramen, reporters, investigative journalists, fact-checkers, and photographers are united against the “Russian law.”

During protests, there were numerous reports of violence against activists and interference with journalists’ work. Media professionals are speaking out against the law’s harmful impact on media freedom and freedom of expression.
