Dragana Trifkovic for SPUTNIK<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Friday marks the 100th day since the arrest of Kirill Vyshinsky, the head of the RIA Novosti Ukraine portal, by Ukrainian authorities. Sputnik discussed this with Dragana Trifkovic, head of the Belgrade-based Center for Geostrategic Studies.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Sputnik: After 100 days in\u00a0confinement what is known about\u00a0Vyshinsky and the prospects of\u00a0him being released?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Dragana Trifkovic:\u00a0<\/strong>Unfortunately, we didn\u2019t learn much about\u00a0the arrest of\u00a0Mr. Vyshinsky except\u00a0the scarce explanations given immediately after\u00a0the arrest that he was charged with\u00a0high treason. Ukraine has been in\u00a0a deep systemic crisis for\u00a0years, and such cases only deepen this crisis and send a very bad picture to\u00a0the world. I think that the international community should much more seriously deal with\u00a0the issue of\u00a0human rights in\u00a0Ukraine. It is impermissible that they close their eyes in\u00a0such cases. It is difficult to\u00a0assess when Mr. Vyshinsky will be released because Ukraine does not adhere to\u00a0international rules and norms when it comes to\u00a0media freedom and the right of\u00a0journalists to\u00a0perform their job unhindered. We can only hope that the international public will take a clearer stand on\u00a0this case and will demand that Ukraine respects human rights.<\/span><\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0#TruthNotTreason: Kirill Vyshinsky\u2019s 100 Days Behind Bars in\u00a0Ukraine<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
