BBC and CBC are latest media to halt operations in Russia
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe BBC and Canada’s CBC are the latest to halt operations in Russia after Russian lawmakers passed legislation that criminalizes independent reporting.
The BBC announces it is halting its journalists’ work in Russia and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) says it is temporarily halting reporting from Russia.
“This legislation appears to criminalize the process of independent journalism,” BBC Director-General Tim Davie says in a statement.
He warns that journalists could face “the risk of criminal prosecution simply for doing their jobs.”
