The online edition Evropeyska Pravda (European Truth/Ukrayinska Pravda) received an e-mail threatening “tough interrogations and prison terms” for its journalists. The editor-in-chief of the edition, Serhiy Sidorenko, posted a photo and details of the letter on Facebook. The letter said that Russia’s Investigative Committee had opened criminal cases against all journalists under the article “extremism”. “All your contact and personal data have been handed over to Russian law enforcement,” it said. It added that when the Russian army takes the settlements where journalists live, they would face “tough interrogations rounds and prison terms.” Journalists were also asked to resign “right now” to witness and avoid a “real punishment”.
