🎙 Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the arrest of blogger Kirill Fedorov in Latvia.
💬 We are indignant at yet another glaring violation of fundamental human rights in Latvia where a well-known blogger was arrested for his assessment of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine.
Riga is once again demonstrating that it does not really care about its international commitments to freedom of speech and access to information.
❗️ We demand the immediate release of blogger Kirill #Fedorov and an end to this kind of lawlessness. The journalism community must be free to express its views.
