Media workers covering anti-government protests in Kazakhstan continue to face harassment, arrest, physical attacks and prosecution in retaliation for their reporting. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) urges the authorities to guarantee press freedom and to ensure a safe environment for journalists amid protests.
The Ukraine Solidarity Campaign has drawn our attention to this appeal. We will be raising it in the British labour movement and left.
Dear comrades!
We ask you to launch an international campaign in their support, to cover this case in the press, to hold solidarity actions and to send appeals to the Russian embassies demanding the release of Igor Kuznetsov and his comrades.
